Dear Ms. Tal ' ' . 14hacjA
RECEIVED
JUN 10 2013
In response to discussions with the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety (Division) in a
meeting at the Denver office on May 31, 2013, Western Fuels- Colorado (WFC) is submitting a minor revision
of the New Horizon Mine (C- 1981 -008) permit to the Division. This submittal includes one copy of the
following:
The completed Division Application form for this revision
Replacement of permit text section 2.05.4(2)(e), pages 26 -30, 32, 33, 37, 38 & 59 -61 to address
modifications to the dryland and irrigated pasture management procedures for reclaimed and
reference areas to better align with the Division's regulations. Note that no text changes were made
to pages 28 -30, but are included because of pagination change to the approved text.
An additional file (also attached to the email transmittal of this letter) contains these pages with track
changes comparison to the approved permit to assist the Division in their review. Please disregard
that the page numbers in this compare document are off due to the expansion of the text to
accommodate the comparison text.
One hard copy of this revision package is being mailed to you, and two hard copies are being mailed to
Sandra Brown at the DRMS Denver office.
As we have discussed, a timely response from the Division to this Minor Revision, and concurrence with the
vegetation monitoring scope of work plan presented to the Division will allow WFC to commence with the
vegetation sampling as soon as possible, but no later than Monday, June 10 to avoid conflict with the land
owners' and farming contractors' hay cutting interests.
