RE : Coal Basin Mines , Light Use Roads TR, File No . C-017-81
Dear Candace:
In accordance with Paragraph 2 . 08 . 4 (d) of Regulations of the
Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board for Coal Mining , a technical
revision to Permit No . C-017-81 (Coal Basin Mines) is reque. L`d
with respect to the light use road system as now permitted .
The Coal Basin Mine Permit Application addresses the Coal
Basin light use road system in Volume 1, Chapter II , Section
B . 4 . c . (4) , Pages 58-59 and it is depicted on a map designated
Exhibit II-B-5 and located in a map jacket in the rear of Volume
1 . In addition to the system depicted on Exhibit II-B-5 a
technical revision was approved on July 12, 1985 for an extension
of the system by 4200 ' on Mid-Continent Fee Title land to the
vicinity of three proposed gas well sites near the center of
Section 18 . See attached map labeled Enclosure #1 for the
status of the light use road system along the top and west slope
of Huntsman Ridge.
The purpose of this technical revision proposal is to
obtain concept approval for the construction of a 1 . 4 mile
section of road that will connect the portion on the White River
National Forest side of the ridge with the upper portion on the
Gunnison National Forest side of the ridge . See proposed location
of this section indicated in red on the map at Enclosure #1 . The
reason concept approval is requested at this time from MLRD and
OSM, even though all the field environmental data gathering and
detailed engineering work has not been completed , is that the
G ison tional Forest does not want tq seriously consider our
request until they receive---a--tee-R-n-i-c—al—revision proposal from OSM
for their comments . With the very limited period during the
summer months when field work can be accomplished at 11, 000+ feet
elevation all agencies must address our proposal simultaneously
or it will take years to obtain approvals to construct the
road from all concerned agencies . See Gunnison National Forest
