The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety hereby issues notice, in accordance with Title 34, Article
33, Section 118, Paragraph 3, of the Colorado Revised Statutes, that on December 6, 2007, an application to
renew an existing permit to conduct coal mining operations at the Hayden Gulch Loadout was considered
complete for the purposes of filing. All review and comment periods as provided in the Colorado Surface
Mining Reclamation Act and the Rules initiate from this date of filing.
Hayden Gulch Terminal, Inc. proposes to continue Other coal mining and/or reclamation operations on land
located approximately 2 miles Southeast of Hayden, Colorado. The permit area is further described as
follows:
Portions of. El/2 Sec. 10, W1/2 Sec. 14, El/2E1/2 Sec. 15, NE 1 /4 Sec. 22, N W 1 /4N W 1 /4 Sec. 23,
Township 6 North, Range 88 West of the 6th P.M.
The above-mentioned tracts of land are shown on USGS 7.5 minute Quadrangle map of Mount Harris.
This is an application for permit renewal RN-3.
Because the above referenced permit renewal application would incorporate additional lands into the permit
area or might otherwise alter previously approved permit conditions or mitigation measures, we are
requesting your agency's evaluation of the proposal. Your comments and concerns relating to the adequacy
of fish and wildlife resources information, the fish and wildlife plan, and the reclamation plan as it relates to
fish and wildlife considerations, including potential impacts to threatened or endangered species, are
requested. If wildlife habitat is the proposed postmining land use, we request your evaluation of proposed
woody plant stocking levels, planting arrangements, and methods for mitigation of potential adverse
impacts.
