The following are the Division's adequacy concerns: <br />Section 2.03.4 Identification of Interests <br />The cover letter for PR-4 states that there were no changes to the list of contiguous landowners. <br />However, comparison of the currently approved Map 9-2, approved in MR-118, with the PR-4 <br />Map 9-2 shows that, in the northwest corner of the permit area, parcels owned by landowners <br />nos. 26 and 46 are no longer contiguous. Please modify the list of contiguous landowners on <br />Map 9-2 and permit application pages 9 and 10 of Section 2.03 accordingly. <br />2. Several landowner changes were made to Map 9-2 in PR-4. The Division requests.that BRL <br />verify these changes. First, the parcel with landowner no. 52 on the west end of the permit area <br />was changed to landowner no. 2. In the southeast corner of the permit area near the loadout, the <br />parcel with landowner no. 51 was changed to landowner 18. In the middle of the permit area, <br />the parcel with landowner 18 was changed to landowner 43. Finally, on the south side of the <br />permit area, the parcel with landowner 36 was changed to landowner no. 1. <br />Section 2.05.6 Mitigation of the Impacts of Mining Operations <br />3. Proposed Table 11 has a footnote that states that the structure list has not been updated since <br />mining ceased at Bowie No. 1. Please update Table 11 of Volume 3, Map 9-7 of Volume 9 and <br />Office of Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Denver • Grand Junction • Durango Active and Inactive Mines
