The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety hereby issues notice, in accordance with Title 34, Article 33,
Section 116, Paragraph 4, of the Colorado Revised Statutes, that on June 7, 2011 an application to revise coal
mining operations at the Southfield Mine was considered complete for the purposes of filing. The revision was
submitted by Energy Fuels Coal, Inc.. All review and comment periods as provided in the Act and the Regulations
initiate from this date of filing.
Energy Fuels Coal, Inc. proposes to relocate the portal area reference area to a site more representative of pre-
disturbance vegetation, soils and slope aspect. The proposed reference area would replace the currently approved
portal area reference area location (Reference Plot `B"). The approved Refuse Area Reference Area would remain
unaffected by this proposal.
The underground coal mining operation is on land located approximately 7 miles South of Florence, Colorado.
The permit area is further described as follows:
Mine Area:
Portions of Sections 19, 30, and 31; Township 20S, Range 69N of the 6th P.M.; Sections 23, 24, 25, 26, and 36;
Township 20S, Range 70 W of the 6th P.M.
Loadout:
Portions of Sections 17 and 18; Township 19S, Range 69W of the 6th P.M.
The above-mentioned tracts of land are shown on USGS 7.5 minute Quadrangle map of Rockvale.
The technical revision proposes to change previously approved permit conditions or mitigation measures, we are
requesting your agency's evaluation of the proposal. Your comments and concerns relating to the adequacy of fish
and wildlife resources information, the fish and wildlife plan, and the reclamation plan as it relates to fish and
wildli f?e considerations, including potential impacts to threatened or endangered species, are requested.
