Martin <br />Executive Director <br />Loretta E. Pifleda <br />Director <br />We have received your application for a Minor Revision to your permit to conduct coal mining in <br />Colorado. Our initial review indicates that all preliminary items required by Rule 2.08.4(5) have <br />not been submitted. Thus, your application is incomplete for the purposes of filing as of April 8, <br />2010. <br />In accordance with Rule 2.07.3(1), you have the opportunity to amend, review, or otherwise make <br />your application complete. The proposed new disturbance associated with methane drainage well <br />drilling on U.S. Forest Service lands requires a Technical Revision to the permit application. <br />Please re-submit the revision application as a Technical Revision. Past Technical Revisions for <br />methane drainage wells can be used as a guide for determining the information that should be <br />submitted. <br />If you have any questions, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Tom Kaldenbach <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />cc: Dan Hernandez, CDRMS <br />Office of Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Denver • Grand Junction • Durango Active and Inactive Mines
