COLORADO <br />Division of Reclamation, <br />Mining and Safety <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />Memorandum <br />August 20, 2015 <br />To: Yampa River CHIA file <br />From: Tabetha Lynch <br />RE: Foidel Creek; C-1982-056 <br />PR10 Impact on Yampa River CHIA <br />PR -10 has been reviewed to determine if any of the proposed revisions will have an impact on the <br />Yampa River Cumulative Hydrologic Impact Assessment (CHIA). In particular, the CHIA assess the <br />existence (or potential for existence) of material damage to the hydrologic balance. <br />Foidel Creek Mine's PR -10 requests approval to include development and longwall mining of the <br />Wolf Creek Coal Seam Reserve. The requested Permit Revision addresses mining of five of the <br />initial panels (911T, 8RT, 7RT, 6RT and SRT) in the Wolf Creek Coal Seam Reserve. The Permit <br />Revision also includes development of an internal ventilation and utility shaft in the Wolf Creek <br />main entries adjacent to the 8RT Panel and an adjustment to shift a segment of the eastern Permit <br />Boundary to the east to include an additional 160 acres. <br />After reviewing the this revision, the Division finds that the changes proposed in PR -10 are not <br />likely to produce any additional potential for material damage to the hydrologic balance outside of the <br />permit area of the mine. <br />c o <br />OF' �G <br />111 <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3567 F 303.832.8106 http://mining.state.co.us <br />John W.
