P.O. Box 158 Carbondale, Colorado 81623 Re: Coal Basin Mines - Draft Findings Document Our File: No. C-017-81 Dear Mr. Bowman: Enclosed is a copy of the draft findings document for the Coal Basin Mines. This document serves two purposes. First, it identifies those issues which have yet to be resolved, and second, it contains the draft findings of compliance required for permit issuance. At this time, a decision to either approve or deny the permit application has not been made. The final decision will depend on whether the issues identified in this document are resolved in a timely manner. The Division encourages you to respond to as many of the stipulations as possible before the Division issues its proposed decision to approve or deny your permit. There are two additional issues not identified in the draft findings document which must be resolved before the Division can issue its proposed decision. First, Mid-Continent submitted me a copy of revised sediment control designs for the preparation plant area. This material must be incorporated into the permit application. Second, Rule 2.10.3(2) requires. that all maps, plans, and cross-sections required by the Regulations be prepared by or under the direction of, and certified by, a registered professional engineer or profess- ional geologist. The Division also requires that one copy of the maps, plans, and cross-sections contain an original stamp and signature. Please contact the Division when you are prepared to respond to the remaining deficiencies so we can set up a meeting to discuss the proposed responses. 423 Centennial Building, 1313 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203 Tel.
