1979 Interim Program Permit <br />To comply with the requirements of the Interim Mining and Reclamation program established <br />through the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Division, an application was submitted to allow <br />existing activities at the site. The application was approved as Permit 79-57. The permit only <br />addressed activities associated with the exploration operations to be conducted at the Munger <br />Canyon Mine. <br />1981 Permanent Proexam Permit <br />An application to conduct mining operation for Munger Canyon was submitted to CMLR under <br />the guidelines of the permanent program. The application addressed mining activities for the five <br />year permit term and allowed construction of an upgraded mine road and a waste rock disposal area. <br />Expansion of the mine site by filling the valley to the north of the initial mine bench was also <br />permitted. The baseline data was collected and facility designs were established for the areas <br />effected. <br />During the application review process a joint venture company was formed to develop the mines. <br />The partnership consisted of Loma Mining Company, a subsidiary of Sheridan; and Mack Fuel <br />Supply, a subsidiary of Colorado-Ute Electric Association, Inc. The partnership company was Salt <br />Creek Mining Company. <br />1982 Permit Revision <br />Life of mine support facilities for both Munger and McClane Canyon mines were permitted <br />through revision to the existing Munger Canyon Mine Permit. A central facilities area was <br />established to provide support for both mines. The facilities to be located at the central area <br />included buildings, supplies, coal washing, refuse disposal, and transportation systems. The revision <br />is contained in Volumes VI and VII of the application. Salt Creek Mining Company was the <br />operator of the mine during the 1982 permit term. <br />1987 Permit Renewal <br />During the later part of the 1987, Sheridan Enterprises, Inc. transferred its interest in Loma <br />Mining Company to Mack Fuel Supply, Inc.
