1124175-1 <br />NOTICE OF PROPOSED DECISION <br />The Colorado Division of Reclamation, <br />Mining and Safety proposes to Ap- <br />prove Technical Revision Application <br />No. 86 (TR-86) for the Colowyo Coal <br />Mine (Permit No. C-1981-019), submit- <br />ted by Colowyo Coal Company L.R. <br />The Colowyo Coal Company has <br />submitted a Technical Revision for the <br />Colowyo Mine to provide a construc- <br />tion certification and as-built map for <br />the South Taylor Haul Road. The <br />South Taylor Haul Road was permitted <br />with the approval of Technical Revision <br />76 (approved on 13 August 2009). The <br />South Taylor Haul Road was con- <br />structed to decrease haul distances <br />and grades from the South Taylor Pit. <br />It runs along the west side of the mine <br />and connects the West Pit of the <br />Colowyo Mine with the South Taylor <br />Pit. This revision is administrative in <br />nature. There is no proposed change <br />to the mine's disturbance boundary or <br />permit boundary with this revision. <br />There will not be any change to the <br />mine's reclamation liability as a result <br />of this revision. <br />The Colowyo Coal Mine is a surface <br />coal mine located in Moffat County, <br />approximately 28 miles South of Craig, <br />Colorado. Coal interest is Federal, and <br />the surface affected is Federal, state <br />and private land. The permit area en- <br />compasses approximately 12,250.95 <br />acres. <br />This proposed decision is based on a <br />finding that the proposed operation will <br />comply with all requirements of the <br />Colorado Surface Coal Mining Recla- <br />mation Act, Section 34 33 101, et seq., <br />C.R.S., and the regulations promul- <br />gated thereunder. <br />Copies of the proposed decision, in- <br />cluding stipulations, are on file for pub- <br />lic inspection at the Colorado Division <br />of Reclamation, Mining and Safety, <br />Room 215,. Centennial Building, 1313 <br />Sherman Street, Denver, Colorado <br />80203. Persons with an interest that <br />may be adversely affected by the pro- <br />posed decision may request a formal <br />hearing before the Mined Land Recla- <br />mation Board on the proposed deci- <br />sion. Such request must be made <br />within ten (10) days of the initial publi- <br />cation of this notice, must be in writing, <br />and must state with reasonable specif- <br />icity the reasons for the request and <br />the objections to the proposed deci- <br />sion. <br />Published in The Craig Daily Press <br />Publication Date: September 10, 2010 <br />10237256
