On page <br />5, "Exploration Permit" is listed, along with "Mining and Reclamation Permit", as one of <br />the approvals our agency would issue for construction and operation of the mine and <br />related facilities. Any drilling activity to be conducted within the proposed permit area <br />identified in the mining and reclamation plan permit application would be addressed within <br />the mining and reclamation permit itself, and would not require a separate exploration <br />approval. Drilling activity outside of the proposed permit boundary would need to be <br />addressed within an "Exploration Notice of Intent", which is the term used in the DRMS <br />regulations for application for coal exploration. I would suggest changing "Exploration <br />Permit" to "Exploration Notice of Intent (if exploration drilling outside of proposed <br />mining and reclamation permit area is proposed)". <br />In the second paragraph on page 6, the second sentence includes the phrase "...the <br />Colorado Division of Mining and Geology (now CDRMS)... At the time in question, the <br />agency that is now CDRMS was the Colorado Division of Mined Land Reclamation (later <br />changed to CDMG, and subsequently to CDRMS). "Colorado Division of Mined Land <br />Reclamation" should probably be used in the subject context. <br />Thanks for the opportunity to comment. <br />Daniel T.
