Mr. Gary Isaac <br />May 5, 2008 <br />Page 5 <br />areas of alluvium and the letter from Mr. Dan Mathews of our Grand Junction Filed Office <br />regarding our informal alluvial valley floor opinion should be incorporated into Exhibit 14 <br />of the permit application package. <br />9. Surface disturbance associated with ventilation shafts was not identified in the application. <br />Please update the application to include all disturbances associated with vent shafts <br />including the required road construction to access the shaft sites. <br />10. The application did not contain plans for methane degasification if needed. Please update the <br />application with a discussion of methane degasification. If appropriate, the application <br />should be updated with plans for methane de-gas wells. <br />11. It would be helpful to have a single map showing all of the surface disturbed area in addition to <br />the detailed maps already submitted (15-1 through 15-9). Please update the application with a <br />surface disturbed area map at an appropriate scale (1"=1000'). <br />In accordance with Rule 2.07.3(1), you have the opportunity to amend, review, or otherwise make your <br />application complete based on the items 1-5 listed above. However, the Division would like to again <br />suggest that CAM-Colorado delay the application submittal until after the Draft EIS has been issued <br />and until after any plan modifications based on the Draft EIS have been incorporated into the <br />application. The Division's main concern continues to be that an earlier submittal may include plans <br />subject to change, given the preliminary stage of the EIS process. This may cause unnecessary delays <br />in our permit review. Therefore, the Division respectfully requests that resubmittal of the application <br />be delayed until the Draft EIS (incorporating agency comments) has been issued and CAM-Colorado <br />has incorporated the findings of the Draft EIS into the application. <br />If you have any questions, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />1 ~~i~~~~ ~a~-~ <br />Michael P.
