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 December 13, 2010, an application
to renew an existing permit to conduct coal mining operations at the McClane Canyon 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.
McClane Canyon Mining, LLC has submitted an application for renewal of a valid existing permit to
conduct coal mining and reclamation for its McClane Canyon Mine, Permit No. C-1980-004. McClane
Canyon Mine is an operating underground mine on land located approximately 19 miles north of Loma,
Colorado along State Highway 139. The current permit will expire on July 6, 2011. McClane Canyon
Mining, LLC proposes to continue underground coal mining and/or reclamation operations and the
application requests successive renewal of the permit for an additional five year permit term. The permit
area is further described as follows:
Portions of Sections 3, 14, 15, 16, 21, 22, 23, 26, 27, 28, and 34, T7S, R102W, 6th PM, all in Garfield
County
The above-mentioned tracts of land are shown on USGS 7.5 minute Quadrangle map of Howard Canyon &
Garvey Canyon.
No additional surface disturbance and no new lands will be incorporated into the permit area as a result of
this permit renewal application. As a result the Division does not anticipate additional impacts to wildlife.
A copy of the renewal application is available for public inspection at the Mesa County Clerk and Recorder,
544 Rood Avenue, Grand Junction, CO 81502, and at the Division office, Room 215, 1313 Sherman Street,
