In accordance with <br />C.R.S. 34-33-109(7)(a), the Division makes the following determinations which warrant that the <br />permit be renewed: <br />1. The terms and conditions of the valid, existing permit are being satisfactorily met; <br />2. The present surface coal mining and reclamation operation is in compliance with all <br />requirements of the Colorado Surface Coal Mining Reclamation Act, C.R.S. 34-33-101 et <br />seq., and the Regulations promulgated thereunder; <br />3. The renewal requested does not substantially jeopazdize the permittee's continuing <br />responsibilityonexfsting permit azeas; <br />4. The operator has provided evidence that the performance bond in effect for the operation <br />will continue in full force for the proposed period of renewal as well as any additional <br />bond requited; <br />5, Any additional revised or updated information as required has been provided. <br />Based on a preponderance of the evidence, the permit issued to Bowie Resources Limited meets the <br />requirements under the right of successive renewal. <br />The permit application will remain a binding part of the permit.
