Revised 11/85 <br />• INTRODUCTION <br />The Bear Coal Company presently mines coal from Federal Coal Lease No. <br />D-052501 on an area directly east of Somerset, Colorado. With this <br />permit revision, the Bear Coal Company has prepared a mining plan <br />encompassing a portion of the immediately adjacent Federal Coal Lease <br />No. C-0117192 in order to optimize mining operations. This permit <br />revision will cause no additional surface disturbance, but is rather a <br />logical extension of Bear Coal Company's mining operation. However, the <br />underground mining area will be increased by approximately 264 acres as <br />shown on the Mine Plan Map (Map 9). Bear Coal Company is requesting <br />approval for this area of mining under the permanent regulatory program <br />of the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act, as well as the <br />Colorado Surface Coal Mining Reclamation Act. <br />n <br />U <br /> <br />-1- <br />
