SHELTON, Director <br /> Richard D Lamm <br /> Governor h <br /> n� <br /> DATE: January 15, 1986 <br /> TO: Candace Thompson ;` (\ <br /> FROM: Jim Pendleton `-L"_ 4 <br /> RE: COAL BASIN NE'S MIT REVISION APPLICATION - ADJUSTMENT OF PERMIT <br /> BOUNDARY ( - 7) <br /> Pursuant to request, I have completed a review of the permit revision <br /> application submitted by Mid-Continent Resources, Inc. for adjustment of the <br /> boundaries of their Coal Basin Mine permit area. <br /> In light of the U. S. Forest Services' concurrence with the extension of their <br /> permit boundary beyond the lease boundary onto Forest Service lands, I have no <br /> geotechnical aversion to the boundary adjustment. <br /> The map entitled "Middle Seam Sequence of Operations" depicts an area of <br /> "hydraulic mining" scheduled for extraction between 1988 and 1993. Without an <br /> appropriate demonstration of the potential hydrological and geotechnical <br /> consequences of hydraulic mining we cannot approve this mine plan <br /> modification. I suggest that you stipulate that hydraulic mining is not <br /> approved. <br /> With the imposition of a stipulation disallowing hydraulic mining, the <br /> geotechnical aspects of the proposed revision application are acceptable. <br /> cc: Mike Long <br /> srs <br /> 6564F <br /> 423 Centennial Building, 1313 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203 Tel.
