We have received your technical revision application to revise your permit to conduct coal mining in Colorado.
Our initial review indicates that all preliminary items required by the Colorado Surface Coal Mining Reclamation
Act, Section 34-33-101 et seq., C.R.S., have been submitted. Thus, your application has been considered complete
for the purposes of filing as of January 8, 2008. All review and comment periods as provided in the Act and the
Regulations initiate from this date of filing.
The proposed newspaper advertisement submitted with the application has been found to be satisfactory,
with one exception. Please revise the last sentence of the first paragraph of the Public Notice to read as
follows:
The purpose of the revision is to change the permit boundary to reflect a recent bond release
approval (SL-3), which reduced the permit area from 10, 310 acres to 3016 acres.
Please publish this revised Notice as specified in Rule 2.08.4(6) of the Regulations. Proof of the publication
of the Notice must be filed with the Division as soon as available after the publication date.
Coincident with the publication, a copy of the revision application, less confidential items, must be filed for public
inspection with the appropriate public office as specified by you in the notice. Any subsequent changes or
additions to the application must also be made in this copy, at the same time it is submitted to the Division.
The Division is currently reviewing your revision application to determine whether the items you have submitted
are adequate in terms of meeting the requirements of the Act and Regulations. In accordance with
Section 34-33-116(5) of the Act, a proposed decision approving or denying this application will be issued no later
