Mining operations began on the site in 1977. <br />Origin of C -81 -010 <br />Following revisions of Colorado's permit requirements described in C.R.S. 34 -33 -109, Utah <br />International Inc. submitted an application for a new permit on February 2, 1981. The Division <br />(then called the Mined Land Reclamation Division) issued permit C -81 -010 on December 31, <br />1982. <br />Transfer of Ownershib to Trabber Mininiz Inc. <br />On April 27, 1983, the Division approved a transfer of ownership of the Trapper Mine from Utah <br />International Inc. to its then wholly -owned subsidiary Trapper Mining Inc. In July 1983 Utah <br />International sold Trapper Mining Inc. to a corporate consortium that owns the Craig Power <br />Plant. <br />PRl <br />On February 20, 1987 the Division received an application from Trapper Mining Inc. to revise its <br />permit (Permit Revision PR -01). Changes were proposed to the permit boundary, topsoil <br />stripping and overburden blasting, and pit pumpage in Colt and Browning Pits. The Division <br />approved PR1 on August 11, 1987. <br />RNl/PR2 Application <br />On February 20, 1987, the same date that the application for PR1 was received, the Division also <br />received an application from Trapper Mining Inc. for Permit Revision PR2 and Permit Renewal <br />RN1.

No changes were <br />proposed for the permit boundary, but new pits and pit advancements were to add 1,035 acres to <br />the disturbed /affected acreage. RN1/PR2 incorporated changes in numerous areas including the <br />reclamation bond amount, environmental baseline data, sediment and erosion control, and <br />operations. <br />Trapper Mine 5 July 9, 2013 <br />
