Re: Southfield Mine (Permit No. C- 1981 -014)
Minor Revision No. 58 (MR- 58)
Subsidence Mitigation Plan
Dear Mr. Patterson:
We have received your minor revision application to revise your permit to conduct coal mining in Colorado. Our initial
review indicates that all preliminary items required by the Colorado Surface Coal Mining Reclamation Act, Section
34 -33 -101 et seq., C.R.S., have been submitted. Thus, your application has been considered complete for the purposes
of filing as of October 17, 2012. All review and comment periods as provided in the Act and the Regulations initiate
from this date of filing.
The Division has reviewed your revision application to determine whether the items you have submitted are adequate in
terms of meeting the requirements of the Act and Regulations. Please find the Division adequacy concerns:
1. The area associated with the mitigation of the subsidence holes is considered disturbed area. Please update the
application form to reflect this additional disturbance associated with the areas associated with the holes, the
area associated with the fill material footprint, the travel corridor utilized to access the mitigation area, and any
other areas that have been disturbed during the mitigation of the holes.
2. The map provided was at a scale of 1 inch equals 1000 feet (1" = 1000'), and only depicts permit area
boundary, coal and surface ownership limits. This map is inadequate to reflect the extent of the mitigation
work. An appropriate depiction would be at a 1" = 400' scale. (Rule 2.10.1(1)) This revised map should
include all approved surface disturbance at the mine area (Map 12 would be an appropriate map to add this
information to).
The Division's proposed decision date is October 27, 2012. Submittal of the requested information prior to October 27,
2012 will allow the Division time to review EFCI's submittal within the regulatory timeframe.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Janet H. Bums
