Public Notice? - `? <br />The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety, in accordance with Title 34, Article 33, of the Colorado <br />Revised Statutes, hereby issues notice that on December 10, 2007, a minor revision application (MR-93) <br />to the Colowyo Coal Mine, Permit No. C-1981-019, operated by Colowyo Coal Company L.P., 5731 <br />State Highway 13, Meeker, CO 81641 was considered complete for the purposes of filing. The Colowyo <br />Coal Company has submitted a Minor Revision for the Colowyo Mine to drill up to 24 exploration holes <br />in the box-cut area of the South Taylor Pit. The proposed drilling is in an area that has already been <br />permitted and bonded for disturbance with Permit Revision 02 so no new lands will be disturbed as a <br />result of this revision. This drilling program is to better define and map the coal reserve and burn areas of <br />the box-cut. Since the holes are in the box-cut area, they will ultimately be mined through, therefore, <br />Colowyo is proposing to not immediately fill and plug the holes. Upon completion of drilling, the holes <br />will be covered to protect against any people or wildlife getting trapped in an open hole. There is already <br />a substantial liability for the South Taylor area so no additional bond monies will be required as a result of <br />this revision. All reviews and comment periods as provided in the Act and Regulations promulgated <br />thereunder initiate from this date of filing. <br />Posted December 18, 2007 <br />M:\OSS\ahd\temp\C-MR-03_C1981019_JRS_12182007021849.doc <br />2-1 <br /> <br />12-Lq-0I
