The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (Division) has received your new permit application to
conduct coal mining in Colorado for the proposed Redcliff Mine. The application, submitted by CAM-
Colorado LLC (CAM-Colorado) was received on April 25, 2008. Our initial review indicates that all
preliminary items required by Rules 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, and 2.06 have not been submitted. Thus, your
application is incomplete for the purposes of filing as of May 5, 2008.
The following materials and information are required for completeness.
1. Rule 2.05.2 (2) Operation Plan -Estimated Area for Life of Operation (Operation description)
requires that each application contain a general description and appropriate map(s) prepared in
accordance with 2.10, describing the area of land to be affected over the life of the operation,
according to the anticipated sequence of mining and reclamation, and identifying each area of land
for which it is anticipated a new, separate, five-year permit will be obtained. Page 2.05-2 of the
application states "The permit will be revised later to develop access to the east towards Big Salt
Wash where the majority of the areas coal reserves lie." Map-14 Mine Plan shows the anticipated
sequence of mining through Year 6 only (one year beyond the proposed first permit term).
Rule 2.10.3 (1) (c) Specific Information Requirements requires that the permit application include
maps showing the boundaries of all areas proposed to be affected over the estimated total life of
the proposed surface or underground mining activities, with a description of size, sequence, and
