<br />1123684-1 <br />NOTICE OF PROPOSED DECISION <br />The Colorado Division of Reclamation, <br />Mining and Safety proposes to Ap- <br />prove Technical Revision Application <br />No. 80 (TR-80) for the Colowyo Coal <br />Mine (Permit No. C-1981-019), submit- <br />ted by Colowyo Coal Company L.P. <br />The Colowyo Coal Company has sub- <br />mitted a Technical Revision for the <br />Colowyo Mine to clarify details in it's <br />backfilling and rough grading plan and <br />schedule for the East Pit. This revision <br />provides a plan to achieve final recla- <br />mation and closure of the East Pit. <br />This revision does not change the <br />post-mining topography or the volumes <br />required for the reclamation of the East <br />Pit. There is no proposed change to <br />the mine's disturbance boundary or <br />permit boundary with this revision. <br />There will not be any increase in the <br />mine's reclamation liability as a result <br />of this revision. <br />The Colowyo Coal Mine is a surface <br />coal 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 the regulations promul- <br />gated thereunder. <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. <br />Published in The Craig Daily Press <br />Publication Date: June 17, 2009 <br />10183789
