New Application
Dear Routt County Commissioners:
The Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety is proposing to Approve an application for a coal
mining and reclamation permit. The application was submitted by Sage Creek Coal Company, LLC on June 15,
2009, for the Peabody Sage Creek Mine. In accordance with Rule 2.07.4(2)(c) of the Rules and Regulations of the
Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board for Coal Mining, we are providing notice of this proposed decision.
Any person with an interest which may be adversely affected by the proposed decision may request a formal
hearing before the Mined Land Reclamation Board within thirty (30) days of the first publication of this notice in
the Steamboat Pilot.
The underground mine is located approximately 9 miles southeast of Hayden, and is further described as follows:
Township 5 North, Range 87 West, all or portions of Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 21 and
22; Township 6 North, Range 87 West, all or portions of Sections 27, 28, 29, 32, 33, 34, 35 and 36
Copies of the permit application are available for public review in the Division offices at the above address and at
the Routt County Clerk and Recorder's Office. Copies of the Division's "Proposed Decision and Findings of
Compliance" are also available at those locations.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
