MID-CONTINENT RESOURCES. INC. <br /> 201 Centennial St..Suite 406 <br /> Glemtirood Springs, Colorado 81601 <br /> (303)945-4958 <br /> May 30, 1984 <br /> Mr. Jim Herron, Reclamation Specialist <br /> Mined Land Reclamation Division <br /> 423 Centennial Building <br /> 1313 Sherman Street <br /> Denver, CO 80203 <br /> Dear Jim: <br /> In accordance with Paragraph 2 . 08. 4 of Regulations of the <br /> Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board for Coal Mining, a minor <br /> revision to Permit No. C-017-81 (Coal Basin Mines) is requested <br /> with respect to the light use road system as now permitted. <br /> The Coal Basin Mine Permit Application addresses the Coal <br /> Basin light use road system in Volume 1, Chapter II , Section <br /> B A.c. (4) , Pages 58-59 and it is depicted on a map designated <br /> Exhibit II-B-5 and located in a map jacket in the rear of Volume <br /> 1. <br /> The request is to extend the approximately fourteen (14) <br /> mile light use road system by an additional six (6) mile section <br /> as depicted in red on the attached maps. This section will <br /> connect the present light use road above the No. 5 mine portal to <br /> the coal exploration road on the west side of Huntsman Ridge. It <br /> is required to provide access to the area above the current <br /> underground mining operations for subsidence monitoring, coal <br /> exploration and methane gas drilling activities. <br /> The new section of road is located entirely within the <br /> permit area and on land owned by Mid-Continent. It will average <br /> 6 . 4 percent grade and will not exceed a pitch grade of 15 degrees <br /> for more than 300 feet within any consecutive 1, 000 feet. <br /> Construction will be in accordance with the standards outlined in <br /> Paragraph 4. 03. 3 of the MLRB Regulations. <br /> Hopefully, construction of this road can be accomplished <br /> during the last two weeks of June so that work on the subsidence <br /> monitoring system and methane gas drilling can be accomplished <br /> during the short summer season available at the 11,600+ elevation. <br /> Please call me if you have any questions on this request. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> -_X / O-r- <br /> George E.
