Box 535 Somerset, Colorado 81434 USA Tel (970)929-5122 Fax <br />(970)929-5177 <br />April 24, 2008 <br />Mr. Joe Dudash ~~~'~~® <br />Environmental Protection Specialist ~ ~pp$ <br />~r ~ :~ <br />Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 p;~,,,,,,, ,,, s.~c~amation~ <br />Denver CO. 80203 Mining and Safety <br />Re: Oxbow Mining LLC, Permit No. C-1981-022 <br />TR-59 Application for Federal Coal Lease Mine Plan and Permit Boundary Chances <br />Dear Mr. Dudash, <br />The purpose of this letter is to request Technical Revision No. 59 to the Oxbow Mining LLC <br />(OMLLC) Permit No. C-1981-022. This TR provides for 1) a mine plan change to add the <br />mining of additional coal reserves contained in the "Tract #4" modification to the Elk Creek <br />Mine Federal coal lease C-61357; 2) an incidental Permit Area modification and 3) modify the <br />mine plan to remove the mining of a former panel #12 and to shorten panel #11. <br />Tract #4 -Federal Coal Lease Modification. <br />In February, 2008, Oxbow submitted a lease modification application to the BLM for the <br />addition of 148 acres to the existing lease C-61357 (Tract #4). The BLM and USFS are currently <br />proceeding through their respective NEPA processes. The lease modification was necessary to <br />reorient the north main entries relative to the adjacent panel orientation and to improve mine <br />geometry and stability for mine safety. The lease modification area is for the development of <br />north main entries and not longwall mining purposes. The Tract 4 modification is located in <br />T12S., R90W, Section 32 and T13S., R90W, Section 5. No new surface facilities or methane <br />drainage boreholes are planned for the Tract 4 modification area. Please see the attached Map <br />2.05-M2, Sheet 1 of 2, Elk Creek Mine, 5 Year Mining Plan for details of the area. We <br />understand that CDRMS approval of this TR-59 application can not be given final approval until <br />the revised lease is finalized, and thus, right-of--entry is provided. Upon issuance of the revised <br />lease, Oxbow will promptly provide a copy to CDRMS. <br />2. Incidental Permit Area Change <br />The addition of the 148 acre Tract #4 lease modification noted above will require an incidental <br />Permit Boundary change with the addition of a total of 249.08 acres to the Permit Area. Please <br />see the attached Map 2.05-M2, Sheet 1 of 2, Elk Creek Mine, S Year Mining Plan for information <br />• Page 1 <br />
