C-81-014 <br />Dear Mr. Stevens: <br />With this letter and its attachments, Energy EUels Coal, Inc. (F'FCI) <br />requests approval of a technical revision to Colorado Mining and <br />Reclamation Permit Nim~ber C-81-014 for an incidental boundary change. <br />On September 1, 1989, personnel from Energy Fuels Coal, Inc., ACZ and <br />G.E.M. Consulting met with personrel fr+ao the Colorado MLRD to discuss <br />mining activities at the Southfield Mine and their relationship to <br />the past mine permit (1981), subsequent bo~uxlary revisions and the <br />• future (1989) Revised Permit Application for Southfield. A cortQlete <br />re-statement of all matters discussed at this meeting is not warranted <br />but a brief review of certain points relative to this Technical <br />Revision package will be pertinent. <br />1. Southfield Mine is currently mining coal fran 2 coal <br />horizons, the Jack O'Lantern and the Red Arrow. <br />2. Sulfur emissions compliance is a prime concern and blending <br />of the high sulfur Red Arrow with the low sulfur Jack O'Lantern is <br />necessary to extend the compliance life of the Southfield reserve. <br />3. No Technical Revision for additional boundary changes can be <br />approved until the Southfield permit Renewal is PYam~ned and approved. <br />4. A Technical Revision for bo0.uidary change would be considered <br />in conjunction with the Permit Renewal. <br />5. The permitted low sulfur Red Arrow reserves will be exhausted <br />- by Jan., 1990. <br />6. A Technical Revision will be requested to keep lower sulfur <br />Red Arrow in production during the time period between approval of the <br />c. Sarthfield Mine Permit Renewal (submitted October 31, 1989) and the . <br />-~ -~ Southfield Mine Permit -Revision . (to be sulmitted Deceober, 1989 or <br />- ':~ January. 1990) . :. <br />• <br />
