As detailed in Tab 3, Attachment 3-11, Peabody has valid existing rights which allow
mining activity within 100 feet within the existing Nucla Mine Permit boundary. Coal
leases from D.J. and I.M. Larsen (dated 3/3/76) and San Miguel Power Association (dated
5/12/77), cover the following parcels of land which will have activity within 100 feet of
County Roads 124 (A-A) and 2650:
T47N, R16W
Sec. 25 - SASE$ and E�SW$
Sec. 26 - WhNEk and E�NEk
In addition, as shown on Exhibit 25-1 and described in Attachment 25-3 (Tab 25). Permit
48 (effective from 7/1/74 through 6/30/79) was amended on 5/28/76 as Permit 48-1A to
include mining through County Roads 124 (A-A) and 2650. Mining limits for Permit 48-1A
are shown on Exhibit 25-1 as the 7/l/79 coal removal line. Permit 75-36 (issued 9/20/77)
extended mining activity contiguous with Permit 48-1A, mining northward through County
Road 2650 through 1988.
To summarize, Peabody has valid existing rights which allow mining activity within 100
feet of public roads within the existing Nucla Mine Permit Boundary by means of coal
leases predating 8/3/77, and valid permits predating 8/3/77. Finally, the coal to be
mined under this revision is both needed for, and immediately adjacent to, an ongoing
surface coal mining operation for which valid permits were obtained prior to 8/3/77.
In the Nucla East area, there exists a single lane dirt road approximately 0.57 miles long
which extends to the west of West 5th Avenue (see Exhibit 12-3). This road is used by the
City of Nucla for access to the city sewage lagoon and several residences who live along
this road. These local residences will be relocated or alternative access will be
provided as required by the Montrose County Commissioners. The Montrose County
Commissioners have granted Peabody permission to temporarily close this road during mining
(see Attachment K). Peabody will reclaim the road after mining and reopen the road to
meet or exceed the terms of the Montrose County Road Closure Agreement (see Exhibit 20-10
for the proposed alignment).
