5TATE OF COLORADO <br /> DIVISION OF MINERALS AND GEOLOGY <br /> Department of Natural Resources P 74, <br /> 131 3 Sherman St., Room 215 <br /> Denver,Colorado 80203 <br /> Phone:(303)866-3567 <br /> FAX.(303)832-8106 <br /> DEPARTMENT OF <br /> MEMO NATURAL <br /> RESOURCES <br /> May 27, 1997 <br /> Roy Romer <br /> Governor <br /> TO: Kent Gorham <br /> James S Lochhead <br /> Executive Director <br /> FROM: Steve Renner-. Michael B Long <br /> " Division Director <br /> RE: Coal Basin Mine <br /> Below is the legal description and the various acreages which you <br /> have requested for the Coal Basin Mine. <br /> The legal description is accurate, while the acreages are somewhat <br /> fluid. Until about two years ago, the mine property was about <br /> evenly split between Federal and Private ownership. At that time, <br /> the Forest Service began to acquire some of the private holdings <br /> through a series of land exchanges. It is my understanding that <br /> now all but 405 acres is Federal property. <br /> The acreages for disturbed area and affected area come directly <br /> from the permit document. These areas equal the total permitted <br /> area, and the life of mine acreage as well. <br /> Please note that this site has had its permit revoked and bond <br /> forfeited. The Division is in the process of accomplishing <br /> reclamation through contractors. No further revisions to the <br /> permit are contemplated. <br /> LEGAL DESCRIPTION <br /> T9S, R89W, Portions of Sections 31, 32 <br /> T10S, R89W, Portions of Sections 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, <br /> 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 28, 29, 30 <br /> T10S, R90W, Portions of Sections 1, 2, 11, 12, 13, 14, 23 , 24, 25 <br /> T9S, R90W, Portions of Section 36 <br /> ACREAGES <br /> Disturbed: 333 Permitted: 11,386 <br /> Affected: 11,386 Federal: 10,981 <br /> Life of Mine: 11,386 Private: 405 <br />
