The partial approval decision is based on a finding that the operations
recommended for approval will comply with all requirements of the Colorado
Surface Coal Mining Reclamation Act, C.R.S. 1973, 34-33-101 et s~eg , and the
regulations promulgated thereunder. Findings of compliance ~r tie Eagle No.
9 Mine cannot be made in sections of the findings document addressing the
Probable Hydrologic Consequences, Alluvial Valley Floors, and Subsidence. For
these reasons, the Division is not approving any additional mining in the
Eagle No. 9 Mine at this time. Review of the Eagle No. 9 Mine will continue
under the procedures prescribed in the Colorado Surface Coal Mining
Reclamation Act.
The stipulations for the Eagle No. 5 and No. 9 Mines are as follows:
1. IF PREVIOUSLY UNAPPROVED SURFACE DISTURBING ACTIVITIES ARE NECESSARY,
THE DIVISION DIRECTS EMPIRE ENERGY CORPORATION TO SUBMIT A REVISION FOR
APPROVAL BY THE DIVISION INCORPORATING A JUSTIFICATION AND MAPS SHOWING
THE PROPOSED DISTURBANCE PRIOR TO THE COMMENCEMENT OF THESE ACTIVITIES.
SHOULD THE PLANNED ACTIVITY BE LOCATED IN AN AREA WHICH HAS NOT BEEN
PREVIOUSLY SURVEYED, AN INTEiVSIVE CULTURAL RESOURCES INVENTORY (TOTAL
GROUND SURVEY) MUST BE CONDUCTED BY A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL
ARCHAEOLOGIST AND THE RESULTS SUBMITTED TO THE DIVISION FOR REVIEW AND
APPROVAL.
2. WITHIN 30 DAYS OF PERMIT ISSUANCE THE DIVISION DIRECTS EMPIRE ENERGY
CORPORATION TO SUBMIT TO THE DIVISION COPIES OF COMPLETE LABORATORY DATA
FROM THE EAGLE N0. 5 MI(VE SUMP STUDY AND AN ANALYSIS OF THE DATA. THE
ANALYSIS OF DATA SHALL INCLUDE A DESCRIPTION OF TRENDS WITH TIME IN
SOLUBLE SALTS, TOXIC METALS, TDS, ELECTRO-CONDUCTIVITY AND pH
CONCENTRATIONS.
3. FOR THE EAGLE IVO. 9, THE DIVISION DIRECTS P1INE EMPIRE ENERGY CORPORATION
TO CONDUCT MINE INFLOW STUDIES FOR ALL ACTIVE OR UNSEALED UNDERGROUND
COAL MINE WORKINGS. AIVIVUAL INFLOW STUDIES SHALL BE CONDUCTED FOR EACH
ACTIVE OR UNSEALED MINE IN THE MONTH OF JUNE, AtVD THE RESULTS OF EACH
INFLOW STUDY SHALL BE SUBMITTED TO THE DIVISION BY THE FIRST OF AUGUST
OF THE SAME YEAR. THE MINE INFLOW STUDIES SHALL INCLUDE:
A) THE MAPPING OF EACH POINT SOURCE INFLOW (I.E. FAULTS, FRACTURED
ROOF, FRACTURED FLOOR, EXPLORATION DRILL HOLE, ETC.) ANU EACH AREA-WIDE
INFLOW (I.E., DRAINAGE FROM SEALS TO ABANDONED MINE WORKINGS: AREAS OF
WEEPING COAL FACES, ROOF, OR FLOOR, ETC.) ON UP-TO-DATE MINE WORKINGS
MAPS;
B) THE MONITORING OF ALL MAPPED INFLOWS FOR FLOW RATES, pH,
ELECTRO-CONDUCTIVITY AND TEMPERATURE; AND
C) THE PRODUCTION OF TABLES OF ALL INFLOWS MAPPED WITH DATA ON THEIR
FLOW RATES, pH'S, ELECTRO-CONDUCTIVITIES AND TEMPERATURES; AND THEIR
SOURCE (I. E., FAULTS, FRACTURES, DRAINAGE FROM SEALS, ETC.).
IF THE DISCHARGE IN THE EAGLE NO. 5 MINE EXCEEDS 20Y OF THE ANNUAL
PROJECTED DISCHARGE THE STUDY OUTLINED ABOVE SHALL BE CONDUCTED AND A
REPORT SUBMITTED WITHItB 90 DAYS.
