The <br />information provided in this document is limited to the information required for a revision of the existing <br />permit to include the Collom mining area into the existing permit area. Refer to the existing permit <br />application (Volume 1) for general information that required no modification to include the Collom <br />permit expansion area. The format will parallel the Colorado coal mining regulations. This application <br />focuses on the requirements of Rule 2, specifically Rule 2.04, Rule 2.05, and certain aspects of Rule 2.01, <br />2.03, and 2.06; Rule 3 — Performance Bond Requirements; and Rule 4 — Performance Standards. <br />2.03.3(1 -5) Format and Supplemental Information <br />Colowyo has endeavored to delineate information in this application as clearly and concisely as possible, <br />consistent with the scope of the various regulations involved. Special care has been taken to support all <br />information by technical references and other appropriate authorities. Likewise, attention has been given <br />during the development of this application to document conclusions with sound technical data. <br />The overburden, soils, water, and coal were analyzed for chemical and physical properties by qualified <br />laboratories. These laboratories are familiar with analytical techniques and standardized procedures for <br />sampling of overburden, soils, water, and coal. Personnel responsible for required data collection and <br />analysis are identified, together with the dates of collection and analysis, and methodologies used. <br />Sampling, target analytes, and analysis methods meet or exceed the requirements of relevant CDRMS <br />regulations. <br />A tremendous effort by many technical personnel and professional organizations was undertaken to <br />obtain, prepare, and present information in this application.
