Snowcap Coal Company, P.O. Box 1430, Palisade, CO, 81526, has submitted a complete
<br />application for a permit revision to the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety for its
<br />Roadside North and South Portals, mining permit No. C -81 -041. The proposed revision
<br />provides demonstration that sediment drainage control features at the North Portal, Cameo
<br />Refuse Disposal Areas 1 and 2, and Cameo Borrow Areas 1 and 2 are no longer
<br />necessary and seeks approval to change the final reclamation plan for Ponds 6,10,11,13
<br />and other drainage features located at the North Portal and Coal Canyon. The goal of this
<br />revision is to gain approval from the Division to reclaim these drainage control features and
<br />make changes to the final reclamation plans.
<br />The Roadside mines are located approximately three miles northeast of Palisade, CO at
<br />the Interstate 70, Cameo Exit No.46. The permit area is split east and west by the
<br />Colorado River and 1 -70, and is encompassed within the following lands:
