The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety hereby issues notice, in accordance with Title 34, Article 33, Section 118,
Paragraph 3, of the Colorado Revised Statutes, that on September 15, 2010, an application to renew an existing permit to
conduct coal mining operations at the Marr Mine was considered complete for the purposes of filing. All review and
comment periods as provided in the Colorado Surface Mining Reclamation Act and the Rules initiate from this date of filing.
Kerr Coal Company has applied for renewal of the DRMS permit for the Marr Mine and Loadout. Mining ceased in 1993.
The purpose of the renewal is to allow Kerr Coal Company to complete reclamation activities for another 5-year period or
until final bond release is obtained, whichever may occur sooner. No new disturbances are proposed in this application.
The surface coal mine is on land located approximately 12 miles east of Walden, Colorado. The loadout is located south of
Walden. The permit area is further described as follows:
T8N, R78W, Portions of Section 2
T9N, R78W, Portions of Sections 22, 23, 25, 26, 27, 35
T9N, R79W, Portions of Sections 28, 29 (loadout)
The above-mentioned tracts of land are shown on USGS 7.5 minute quadrangle maps of Johnny Moore Mountain, Gould
NW, Walden and Eagle Hill.
A copy of the renewal application is available for public inspection at the Northwest Colorado Consultants, Inc., 2580 Copper
Ridge Dr., Steamboat Springs, CO 80487, and at the Division office, Room 215, 1313 Sherman Street, Denver, Colorado
80203, [phone].
In order for us to comply with regulatory time frames, we request that comments be submitted to the Division of Reclamation,
Mining and Safety at the above address by November 14, 2010. If no comments are received by this date, we will proceed on
the assumption that your agency has no concerns with or objections to the applicant's proposal.
Sincerely,
Robert D. Zuber
