I. Colorado Yampa Coal Co. ("operator") desires to conduct a mining operation known as the

operator's application for this permit, fixed the amount of bond and directed that this permit
be issued upon the filing with the Division of bond in the amount so fixed in form and
substance approved by the Division, and such bond has been so furnished.
III. On July 12, 1995, the Division made the following findings:
(a) The permit application is accurate and contains all information required under C.R.S.,
34-33-101 et sec .and regulations promulgated thereunder and that all the requirements
of Article 33 of Title 34, C.R.S. ("such article") for the issue of a permit have been
complied with;
(b) The applicant has demonstrated that reclamation as required by such article can be
accomplished under the reclamation plan contained in the permit application;
(c) The assessment of the probable cumulative impact of all anticipated mining in the area
on the hydrologic balance specified in Section 34-33-110(2)(1) has been made by the
Division and the proposed operation thereof has been designed to prevent material
damage to the hydrologic balance outside the permit area;
(d) Granting the permit will not conflict with any designation decision issued pursuant to
Section 522 of the Federal "Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977," as
amended, (P.L. 95-87), nor is the area proposed to be mined within an area under
study for unsuitability designation in an administrative proceeding commenced pursuant
to Section 34-33-126 or Section 522 of said P.L. 95-87.
