Proposed Decision <br />The Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety proposes to approve with conditions a <br />permit renewal application for a valid existing permit to conduct surface coal mining and <br />reclamation operations at the Munger Canyon Mine. <br />The Permit Renewal No. 6 (RN -6) application was submitted by CAM Mining LLC (CAM). This <br />decision is based on a finding that the operations will comply with all requirements of the Colorado <br />State Program as found in the Colorado Surface Coal Mining Reclamation Act, C.R.S. 34 -33 -101 et <br />seq., and the Regulations promulgated pursuant to the Act. If no request for a formal hearing is made <br />within thirty (30) days of the first publication of the issuance of this proposed decision, then this <br />decision becomes final. The permit application, all supporting documentation and any stipulations or <br />conditions will become a binding part of the permit. <br />Since the submittal of the original permit application there have been a total of thirty-four <br />stipulations issued. All but one of these stipulations have been terminated or complied. Stipulation <br />No. 12 is retained from previous permitting actions, and is attached to this proposed decision. <br />Stipulation No. 12 addresses raptor buffer zones and remains in effect. <br />Stipulation No. 12 <br />THE PERMITTEE SHALL MAINTAIN RAPTOR BUFFER ZONES ESTABLISHED FOR THE <br />MUNGER CANYON MINE BY THE U.S.F.W.S FOLLOWING COMPLETION OF THE INITIAL <br />RAPTOR SURVEY CONDUCTED IN JULY 1983. NO SURFACE DISTURBANCES SHALL <br />OCCUR WITHIN ESTABLISHED BUFFER ZONES EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY <br />AUTHORIZED BY CMLRD IN CONSULTATION WITH THE U.S.F.W.S. AND C.D.O.W. <br />2 <br />
