Gunni n No. ine <br />(Permit No. - 0-007) <br />~~~ <br />OF' HOC <br />gyp' -, aq <br />~~.a ~<~O <br />~~ ~(v+ . <br />.• <br />~ 18'16 <br />Roy Romer, <br />Governor <br />Fretl R Bama, <br />Dmson D~reUOr <br />Increase in Maximum Production Rate <br />I have reviewed the technical revision submitted by~West Elk Coal Company, <br />which you forwarded to my attention. The only concern I have regarding WECC's <br />request would be whether the facilities in place at the Mt. Gunnison No. 1 <br />Mine are capable of accommodating the higher production rate. Specifically, <br />is the coal waste pile capable of accommodating the potential increase in <br />waste production I would expect to be associated with a significant increase <br />in coal production? If not, the applicant should clearly state so and conmit <br />to a timely submittal of an appropriate amendment to their existing approved <br />permit. The same concern should be applied to all other facilities at the <br />approved mine site. <br />0857E/scg <br />
