NOTICE OF PROPOSED DECISION <br />The Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety proposes to Approve Technical Revision <br />Application No. 75 (TR-75) for the Colowyo Coal Mine (Permit No. C-1981-019), submitted by Colowyo <br />Coal Company L.P. The Colowyo Coal Company has submitted a Technical Revision for the Colowyo <br />Mine to change the designs of the Section 28 and Section 29 Collection Ditches. These ditches are in the <br />South Taylor area of the mine and were originally permitted with the approval of Permit Revision 02. The <br />changes are necessary due to conditions on the ground. The redesign of these ditches will not change the <br />watersheds in the South Taylor mining area. There is no proposed change to the mine's disturbance <br />boundary or permit boundary with this revision. There will not be any increase in the mine's reclamation <br />liability as a result of this revision. <br />The Colowyo Coal Mine is a surface coal mine located in Moffat County, approximately 28 miles south of <br />Craig, Colorado. Coal interest is Federal, and the surface affected is Federal, state and private land. The <br />permit area encompasses approximately 12,250.95 acres. <br />This proposed decision is based on a finding that the proposed operation will comply with all requirements <br />of the Colorado Surface Coal Mining Reclamation Act, Section 34-33-101, et seq., C.R.S., and the <br />regulations promulgated thereunder. <br />Copies of the proposed decision, including stipulations, are on file for public inspection at the Colorado <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety, Room 215, Centennial Building, 1313 Sherman Street, <br />Denver, Colorado 80203. Persons with an interest that may be adversely affected by the proposed decision <br />may request a formal hearing before the Mined Land Reclamation Board on the proposed decision. Such <br />request must be made within ten (10) days of the initial publication of this notice, must be in writing, and <br />must state with reasonable specificity the reasons for the request and the objections to the proposed <br />decision.
