ti <br />112042-1 <br />NOTICE OF PROPOSED DECISION <br />The Colorado Division of Reclamation, <br />Mining and Safety proposes to approve <br />Technical Revision Application No. 71 <br />(fR-71) for the Colowyo Coal Mine <br />(Permit No. C-'1981-019), submitted by <br />Colowyo Coal Company L.P. The <br />Colowyo Coal Company has submitted <br />a Technical RENision for the Colowyo <br />Mine to extent the currently permitted <br />Section 16 Pond ditch approximately <br />750 feet. The ditch extension will direct <br />some of the South Taylor disturbed <br />area runoff to the Section 16 Pond until <br />the construction of the Section 21 <br />Pond is completed. This revision in- <br />cludes a nem, hydrology map and <br />changes to the hydrologic ariod-eeling for <br />the Section 1E'Pond. All of the lands <br />for the proposed extension are within <br />both the mine's disturbance boundary <br />and permit bcundry. since all of the <br />lands for this revision are contained <br />within the South Taylor Pit shell, it is <br />not anticipated that there will be any in- <br />crease in the mine's reclamation liabil- <br />ity as a result of this revision. <br />The Colowyo Coal Mine is a surface <br />coat mine located in Moffat County, <br />approximately 28 miles south of Craig, <br />Colorado. Coal interest is Federal and <br />the surface affected is Federal, state <br />and private land. The permit area en- <br />compasses approximately 12, 250.95 <br />acres. <br />This proposed decision is based on a <br />finding that the proposed operation will <br />comply with all requirements of the <br />Colorado Surface Coal Mining Recla- <br />mation Act, Section 34-33-101, et seq., <br />C.R.S., and t-ie regulations promul- <br />gated thereunder. <br />i <br />Copies of the proposed decision, in- <br />cluding stipulations, are on file for pub- <br />lic inspection at the Colorado Division <br />of Reclamation, Mining and Safety, <br />Room 215, CEntennial Building, 1313 <br />Sherman Street, Denver, Colorado <br />80203. Persons with an interest that <br />may be adversely affected by the pro- <br />posed, decision may request a formal <br />hearing before the Mined Land Recla- <br />mation Board on the proposed deci- <br />sion. Such request must be made <br />within ten (10) days of the initial publi- <br />cation of this notice, must be in writing, <br />and must state with reasonable specif- <br />icity the reasons for the request and <br />the objections to the proposed deci- <br />sion.
