the form of lease agreements, see Section 2.03.6, pages <br />2.03.30-38 of the permit application. (2.07.6(2)(f)). <br />7. On the basis of evidence submitted by the applicant and <br />received from other state and federal agencies as a result of <br />the Section 34-33-114(3) compliance review required by the <br />Colorado Surface Coal Mining Reclamation Act, the Division <br />finds that Energy Fuels Coal, Inc. does not own or control any <br />operations which are currently in violation of any law, rule, <br />or regulation of the United States, or any State law, rule, or <br />regulation, or any provision of the Surface mining control and <br />Reclamation Act or the Colorado Surface Coal Mining <br />Reclamation Act. (2.07.6(2)(g)(i)). <br />8. Energy Fuels Coal, Inc. does not control and has not <br />controlled mining operations with a demonstrated pattern of <br />willful violations of the Act of such nature, duration, and <br />with such resulting irreparable damage to the environment as <br />to indicate an intent not to comply with the provisions of the <br />Act. (2.07.6(2)(h)). <br />9. The Division finds that surface coal mining and reclamation <br />operations to be performed under this permit will not be <br />inconsistent with other such operations anticipated to be <br />performed in areas adjacent to the permit area. <br />(2.07.6(2)(1)). <br />10. The Division currently holds eight certificates of deposit <br />totaling $849,410.00. The CD amounts are as follows: <br />811,000.00, 17,000.00, 12,100.00, 2,500.00, 2,500.00, <br />1,800.00, 1,160.00 and 1,350.00. The reclamation bond is <br />currently under review pursuant to Rule 3.02.2(4) to determine <br />whether the above bond amount reflects the Division's <br />projection of reclamation costs for worst-case disturbance <br />which will occur during the proposed permit term. <br />(2.07.6(2)(7))• <br />il. The Division has made a negative determination for the <br />presence of prime farmland within the permit area. The <br />decision was based on two letters; one from the U.S. <br />Department of Agriculture, dated 9/16/80 and the second, from <br />Colorado State University Agricultural Center, dated 9/23/80. <br />Both letters state that no prime farmland mapping units are <br />found within the permit area. (2.07.6(2)(k)). <br />12. The Division has made a negative determination for the <br />existence of alluvial valley floors with the permitted mine <br />site area. This determination is based on information provided <br />by the applicant which demonstrates that no lands within the <br />Southfield Mine area qualify as prime farmlands (see Exhibit <br />24 of the permit application). (2.07.6(2)(k) and <br />2.06.8(3)(c)). <br />However, based on the information provided in the application <br />the Division has determined that an alluvial valley floor <br />23 <br />
