(Tri-State), is the parent company to <br />Axial Basin Coal Company, which is the general partner to Colowyo Coal Company L.P. (Colowyo). <br />Therefore, Tri-State on behalf of Colowyo is submitting three copies of minor revision 151 (MR -151) to <br />Permit No. C-1981-019. <br />MR -151 documents ground disturbing activities associated with emergency access road to replace <br />a broken power pole. On February 18, 2016, the Colowyo Mine experienced a very high wind event <br />which snapped the base on one of Colowyo's power poles. Mr. Tony Tennyson (Tri-State) spoke via <br />telephone with Mr. Jim Stark (Division) the same day describing the emergency situation at hand, and <br />requested Colowyo be able to construct a road to access the pole location as the broken pole was dangling <br />from the wires. Mr. Stark indicated that Colowyo could access the pole, and requested the permitting <br />action for ground disturbing activities be submitted to the Division in a timely manner. This minor <br />revision application documents the activities that have occurred to replace the broken power pole. <br />Also included in this minor revision application is a change of index sheet to ease incorporation <br />into the permit document and a revision application. If you should have any additional questions or <br />concerns please feel free to contact Tony Tennyson at (970) 824-1232 at your convenience. <br />Sincerely, <br />Daniel J.
