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.
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.
No additional surface disturbance is proposed as a result of this revision application. As a result, the Division does
not anticipate additional impacts to wildlife.
The applicant is required to publish notice in The Jackson County Star that this permit renewal application has
been deemed complete. At the time of publication of this notice, the applicant is additionally required to place a
copy of this application at the Northwest Colorado Consultants, Inc., 2580 Copper Ridge Dr., Steamboat Springs,
CO 80487, and at the Division office. For additional information or to provide written comments, or request an
