BOX 46] GOLDEN, COLORADO 80404 <br />April 29, 2005 <br />Mr. Tom Kaldenbach <br />Division of Minerals and Geology <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Re: Technical Revision No 36 <br />Change Approved Post-Mining Land Use -Partial <br />Dear Mr. Kaldenbach: <br />VIA FAX & MAIL <br />The submission of this Technical Revision follows notice received by Coors Energy Company <br />(CEC) from Patina Oil and Gas Corporation (Patina), as the owner of oil and gas interests beneath <br />the Keenesburg Mine site (Section 36). Patina indicates that they intend to drill and complete two <br />wells within the Permit area, one in the near future and the other in approximately one year. Both <br />of the sites are located within the Permit area with one to be situated on ground that has been <br />determined to have achieved the "Phase II bond release" stage. <br />The long-term use for these land parcels (well sites and access corridors), once wells are <br />completed, can no longer be considered "rangeland". Therefore, CEC asks for the Division's <br />concurrence, by way of approval of this Technical Revision, in a revised post-mining use <br />designation, that of"industrial". <br />We aze enclosing copies of the documentation received from Patina demonstrating their control <br />of the oil and gas interests under the lands, a map identifying the anticipated well site locations <br />and means of access, and a proposed notice for publication. The notice will be placed in the local <br />newspaper as soon as we receive concurrence from CDMG as to format and content. Copies of <br />the Technical Revision application will be delivered to the Keenesburg Town Hall and to the <br />Weld County Clerk and Recorder's office for "public review" once approval is received and as <br />soon as the notice is placed. <br />CEC believes that the documentation submitted is complete and sufficient for the processing of <br />this Technical Revision No.36. However, should you have questions, please contact me at 303 <br />277-3455. <br />Sinc yP <br />Donald W. MacDonald <br />Manager, Energy Services <br />
