• During May 2002, the Operator applied for a permit renewal, PR-04. The DMG <br />responded with an adequacy letter dated October 31, 2002. The DMG noted that much <br />of the voluminous information contained in the permit application was outdated. The <br />permit document is unnecessarily complicated, bulky and muddled. The focus of the <br />permit renewal was to clarify the current plans and projections, and to eliminate <br />information that is no longer applicable. During August 2003 the Operator responded <br />with an application for a technical revision to address the DMG's concerns. The <br />majority of the proposed changes involved simplifying and organizing the permit. <br />2003 Succession of Operators (SO-3) <br />Lodestar Energy, Inc., a Delaware Corporation, acting by and through its duly appointed <br />bankruptcy trustee, William D. Bishop, assigned, transferred and conveyed to Central <br />Appalachia Mining LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, its successors and <br />assigns, the Fee Property, Federal Coal Leases, Property Rights, Private Coal Leases, <br />Federal Non-Mineral Leases, Rights of Way and Water Rights located in Garfield and <br />Mesa County, Colorado effective May 9, 2003. The Deed and Assignment <br />documenting this transfer is recorded at book 3370 page 429, Mesa County, Colorado. <br />SO-03 is being processed to transfer the mining and reclamation permit from Lodestar <br />Energy, Inc. to Central Appalachia Mining LLC. <br />• Permit obligations or commitments referencing prior operators shall be interpreted to <br />mean Central Appalachia Mining LLC. <br /> <br />M" Page 1-5 09/03 <br />
