<br />The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety hereby issues notice, in accordance with Title 34, Article 33,
<br />Section 118, Paragraph 3, of the Colorado Revised Statutes, that on September 15, 2010, an application to renew an
<br />existing permit to conduct coal mining operations at the Marr Mine was considered complete for the purposes of
<br />filing. All review and comment periods as provided in the Colorado Surface Mining Reclamation Act and the Rules
<br />initiate from this date of filing.
<br />Kerr Coal Company has applied for renewal of the DRMS permit for the Marr Mine and Loadout. Mining ceased in
<br />1993. The purpose of the renewal is to allow Kerr Coal Company to complete reclamation activities for another 5-
<br />year period or until final bond release is obtained, whichever may occur sooner.
<br />The surface coal mine is on land located approximately 12 miles east of Walden, Colorado. The loadout is located
<br />south of Walden. The permit area is further described as follows:
<br />T8N, R78W, Portions of Section 2
<br />T9N, R78W, Portions of Sections 22, 23, 25, 26, 27, 35
<br />T9N, R79W, Portions of Sections 28, 29 (loadout)
<br />The above-mentioned tracts of land are shown on USGS 7.5 minute quadrangle maps of Johnny Moore Mountain,
<br />Gould NW, Walden and Eagle Hill.
<br />A copy of the renewal application is available for public inspection at the Northwest Colorado Consultants, Inc., 2580
<br />Copper Ridge Dr., Steamboat Springs, CO 80487, and at the Division office. For additional information, to provide
<br />written comments, or request an informal conference, contact the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety,
<br />Room 215, 1313 Sherman Street, Denver, Colorado 80203, (303) 866-3567, within thirty (30) days after the last
