As detailed in Tab 3, Attachment 3-11, Peabody has valid existing rights which allow <br />• mining activity within 100 feet within the existing Nucla Mine Permit boundary. Coal <br />leases from D.J. and I.M. Larsen (dated 3/3/76) and San Miguel Power Association (dated <br />5/12/77), cover the following parcels of land which will have activity within 100 feet of <br />County Roads 124 (A-A) and 2650: <br />T47N, R16W <br />Sec. 25 - SI~SE} and E45W} <br />Sec. 26 - W7tNE} and E>tNE} <br />In addition, as shorn on Exhibit 25-1 and described in Attachment 25-3 (Tab 25). Permit <br />48 (effective from 7/1/74 through 6/30/79) was amended on 5/28/76 as Permit 48-1A to <br />include mining through County Roads 124 (A-A) and 2650. Mining limits for Permit 48-1A <br />are shown on Ezhibit 25-1 as the 7/1/79 coal removal line. Permit 75-36 (issued 9/20/77) <br />extended mining activity contiguous with Permit 48-tA, mining northward through County <br />Road 2650 through 1988. <br />To summarize, Peabody has valid existing rights which allow mining activity within 100 <br />feet of public roads within the existing Nucla Mine Permit Boundary by means of coal <br />• leases predating 8/3/77, and valid permits predating 8/3/77. Finally, the coal to be <br />mined under this revision is both needed for, and immediately adjacent to, an ongoing <br />surface coal mining operation for which valid permits were obtained prior to 8/3/77. <br />In the Nucla East area, there exists a single lane dirt road app roximateiy 0.57 miles long <br />which extends to the west of West 5th Avenue (see Exhibit 12-3). This road is used by the <br />City of Nucla for access to the city sewage lagoon and several residences who live along <br />this road. These local residences will be relocated or alternative access will be <br />provided as required ~ by the Montrose County Commissioners. The Montrose County <br />Commissioners have granted Peabody permission to temporarily close this road during mining <br />(see Attachment K). Peabody will reclaim the road after mining and reopen the road to <br />meet or exceed the terms of the Montrose County Road Closure Agreement (see Exhibit 20-10 <br />for the proposed alignment). <br />Support Facilities <br />Buildings.
