Bowles <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />1313 Sherman St., Room 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />HISTORY <br />Re: Elk Creek Mine (Permit No. C- 1981 -022), Permit Revision Application No. 7 (PR -7), PR -7 COC -70615 <br />Coal Lease Addition and Mine Plan Modification (CHS #62204) <br />Dear Mr. Bowles: <br />Thank you for your recent correspondence dated August 27, 2012 (received by our office on August 30, 2012) <br />and for the opportunity for continued consultation for the subject undertaking. <br />Following our review of the revised documentation, we understand that no additional surface or mining- related <br />disturbances will result from the subject permit revision and if such activities (e.g., gob holes, access roads, etc.) <br />are required in the future additional consultation with our office will occur. <br />As the proposed permit revision does not involve any new surface disturbance, it is our opinion that a finding of <br />no historic properties affected is appropriate for this undertaking. <br />If previously unidentified archaeological resources are discovered in the course of the project, work must be <br />interrupted until the resources are properly evaluated in terms of the National Register of Historic Places <br />eligibility cntena (36 CFR 60.4) in consultation with our office. <br />Thank you for the opportunity to comment. If we may be of further assistance, please contact Mark Tobias, <br />Section 106 Compliance Manager, at (303) 866 -4674 or mark.tobias @state.co.us. <br />Sincerely, <br />6,4„,1A l�UJ�� <br />-Pp,i Edward C.
