This decision is based on a finding that <br />the operations will comply with all requirements of the Colorado State Program, as found in the Colorado <br />Surface Mining Reclamation Act, C.R.S. 34-33-101 et. seq., and the Regulations promulgated pursuant to <br />the Act. If no request for a formal hearing is made within thirty (30) days of the first publication of the <br />issuance of this proposed decision, then this decision becomes final. The original permit to conduct coal <br />mining operations was issued on April 4, 1997. The Division is in possession of a reclamation bond in the <br />form of cash and corporate sureties whose combined value is in excess of the amount of the estimated <br />reclamation bond liability. <br />The permit renewal application, all supporting documentation and any stipulations or conditions will <br />become a binding part of the permit. <br />The original permit approval contained Stipulations Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4. All four of these stipulations were <br />complied with when BRL secured the necessary permits and approvals. Stipulation No. 5 was attached to <br />Minor Revision No. 4 and was complied with when BRL performed the required action. Stipulation No. 6 <br />had been attached to Minor Revision No. 5 and was complied with when BRL submitted the required <br />revised maps and permit application text. Stipulation No. 7 was attached to the decision for Permit <br />Revision No. 2. Approval of Permit Revision No. 4 was conditioned on three new stipulations, Nos. 8, 9 <br />and 10. For the approval of Permit Revision No. 5, Stipulations Nos. 7 and 8, and new compliance issues <br />brought up during the review of PR-05, were combined into a new stipulation, Stipulation No. 12. <br />Stipulation No. 12 was modified later for PR-07 and for PR-08. Stipulations Nos. 7 and 8 were, <br />subsequently, terminated. Stipulations Nos. 9 and 10 are still active. Stipulation No. 9 was revised when
