The application proposes to leave eight livestock ponds in the mine <br />permit area as permanent features. The underground coal mining operation is located approximately 28 <br />miles south of Craig in Moffat and Route counties. <br />The eight livestock ponds referred to in this application are located in Sections 3 and 10 of <br />Township 3 North, Range 93 West, 6th PM. The applications have been approved as livestock water <br />tanks through the State Engineer's Office (SEO) and are on record under file nos. 18509-18516. These <br />tanks are exempt from the prior appropriation system as provided for in the Livestock Water Tank Act of <br />Colorado, CRS 35-49-101. So long as the applicant limits the use of these tanks to that provided for <br />under this act, the SEO has no objection to this application. <br />Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this project. If you have any questions, please <br />contact me at this office. <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Karlyn Adams <br />Water Resource Engineer <br />KAA: Colowyo Mine Permanent Stock Tanks C-1981-019 (TR89).docx <br />cc: Erin Light, Division Engineer, Division 6 <br />Kathy Bower, Water Commissioner, District 44 <br />Office of the State Engineer <br />1313 Sherman Street, Suite 818 • Denver, CO 80203 • Phone: 303-866-3581 • Fax: 303-866-3589 <br />http://water.state.co.us
