(1) The date of the report and tl~e sponsor should be <br />provided. <br />Rzseor.se <br />The date of the report ~+~as October 1975. The <br />report ~•ras sponsored by VTN Colorado, Inc., 2600 S. <br />Parker Road., Denver, CO. <br />(2) Provide a clear d=scription of the acreage covered by <br />the survey of the mine plan. Provide an accurate map <br />that clearly shows site locations in relationship to <br />any surface disturbing activity and survey boundaries. <br />Determine the direct and indirect impact to .sites. <br />Response <br />The fallowing description of the Federal ?.ease <br />area/mine plan area was covered by the Lischka report: <br />Township 3 T'orth, Range 93 West of the 6th P.M. <br />Section 2: Lots 10, 13, 22, 23, Swl/4Nw1/4, 541/4 <br />Section 3: S1/2N1/2, S1/2 <br />Section 4: Lots 1, 2, 3, S1/2NE1/4, SE1/4N[vl/4, <br />NE1/4SW1/4, E1/2n*~al/45w1/4, sl/2SW1/4, <br />SE1/4 <br />Section 9: All <br />Section 10: All <br />• At the time the Lischka survey was made in 1975 <br />there was not an established permit boundary outside <br />the Federal Coal Lease boundary. The State permit area <br />boundaries were not established until December 1976 <br />when Colowyo`s initial permit was approved. Surveys <br />within the permit area included the mine plan area, the <br />warehouse;"maintenance complex, and a transportaticn <br />corridor that extended part way up Taylor Creek. The <br />remaining permit area was not surveyed. <br />Colowyo has constructed virtually all of the mine <br />support facilities which include the main access road, <br />the Gossard loadout, water supply system, administration <br />building, warehouse/maintenance complex, etc. i',e do <br />not anticipate that there will be any additional <br />disturbance outside the mine plan area. [9e would <br />pxopose that if any additional disturbance is required <br />in the permit area that an archaeological survey be <br />completed prior to initiating any surface disturbing <br />activity. <br />A discussion of the impacts is also included in the <br />t4orthwest Colorado Coal Environmental Impact Statement. <br />A copy of Page GIII - 15 of the site specific analysis <br />• which contains this discussion is enclosed. <br />
