National Register of Historic Places and Public Parks <br />On the basis of information submitted by Coors Energy Company, the permittee, in the form <br />of a letter (Cultural Resource Consultants, Inc., November 10, 1978, on file as Appendix E-1 <br />of the Permit), the Division finds that subject to valid existing rights as of August 3, 1977, the <br />mining operation will not adversely affect any publicly owned park or place listed on or <br />eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places as determined by the State <br />Historic Preservation Office [Rule 2.07.6(2)(e)(I)]. <br />Mineral and Surface Estates <br />For this surface mining operation private mineral estate has been severed from private surface <br />estate, therefore the documentation specified by Rule 2.03.6(2) has been provided in the form <br />of legal documents. (Section 2.03.6 of the Permit)[Rule 2.07.6(2)(f)]. <br />7. Compliance with Laws, Rules and Regulations <br />On the basis of evidence submitted by the applicant and received from other state and federal <br />agencies as a result of the Section 34-33-114(3) compliance review required by the Colorado <br />Surface Coal Mining Reclamation Act, the Division finds that Coors Energy Company does <br />not own or control any operations which are currently in violation of any law, rule, or <br />regulation of the United States, or any State law, rule, or regulation, or any provision of the <br />Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act or the Colorado Surface Coal Mining <br />Reclamation Act [Rule 2.07.6(2)(g)(I)](see para 3,17 above). <br />8. Determination of Willful Violations <br />Coors Energy Company does not control and has not controlled mining operations with a <br />demonstrated pattern of willful violations of the Act of such nature, duration, and with such <br />resulting irreparable damage to the environment as to indicate an intent not to comply with the <br />provisions of the Act [Rule 2.07.6(2)(h)][see para 3.17 above). <br />Consistency with Adjacent Activities <br />The Division finds that surface coal mining and reclamation operations to be performed under <br />this permit will not be inconsistent with other such operations anticipated to be performed in <br />areas adjacent to the permit area [Rule 2.07.6(2)(I)](Application, para 2.03.7, page 29, 5/91; <br />Application, para 2.04.3, pages 34 - 37) . . <br />10. Reclamation Liability <br />The Division estimates the reclamation liability for mining operations in this permit term to be <br />$2,815,529 (Cost Estimate, 1 Jul 97, permit files). The Division currently holds a <br />$4,402,022.00 performance bond for the Keenesburg Strip Mine. [Rule 2.07.6(2)(j)](permit <br />files). <br />22 18 February 1998 <br />
