Stark, Jim <br />From: Hernandez, Daniel <br />Sent: 27 December, 2010 16:19 <br />To: 'bpostle@osmre.gov' <br />Cc: Stark, Jim; 'Johnston, Carl' <br />Subject: Request for Determination of the Need for Federal Mine Plan Modification <br />Hello Bob - <br />The Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety found Colowyo Coal Company's application for Permit Revision <br />PR-03 to the Colowyo Mine Complete on December 27, 2010. The DRMS Permit Number for the Colowyo Mine is C- <br />1981-019. The mining area associated with Permit Revision PR-03 is known as the Collom area. <br />Permit Revision PR-03 is seeking an increase of approximately 16,833 acres to the Colowyo Mine's permit area. This <br />would increase the total permit area of the Colowyo Mine from approximately 12,251 acres to approximately 29,084 <br />acres. Permit Revision PR-03 is also seeking an increase in the disturbed area of the Colowyo Mine of approximately <br />2,244 acres, from approximately 5,214 acres to approximately 7, 458 acres. <br />in accordance with Part B. "Federal Mines" of the August 28, 1996 memorandum developed jointly between DRMS and <br />OSM, we respectfully request OSM inform us as soon as possible as to whether OSM believes Permit Revision PR-03 to <br />the Colowyo Mine would require modification of Colowyo Coal Company's federal, mine plan, as described in OSM's <br />regulations at 30 CFR 746.18. <br />Should OSM determine that Permit Revision PR-03 would require modification of Colowyo Coal Company's federal mine <br />plan, we, in accordance with Part B of the August 28, 1996 memorandum, will notify the permittee of OSM's <br />determination. <br />Should you have any questions, please contact Jim Stark in our Denver office.
