PITKIN COUNTY
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
RESOLUTION NO. 75-65
Anschutz Special Review Use Permit
September 22, 1975
WHEREAS, Anschutz Coal Corporation (hereinafter
"Anschutz Coal") has applied to the Board of County Commis-
sioners of Pitkin County (hereinafter the "Board") for a
Special Review Permit pursuant to Section VI of the Pitkin
County Zoning Resolution for a proposed underground mining
operation and related surface facilities at the Thompson Creek
Coal mine in, on and under the real property more specifically
described in Exhibits A and B attached hereto (hereinafter the
"Lands"), and
WHEREAS on April 30, 1975 the Pitkin County Planning
and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the special
review permit subject to certain conditions, and
WHEREAS, on June 9, 1975 a public hearing was held
pursuant to the Pitkin County Zoning Resolution and such
hearing was continued until July 21, 1975 to enable Anschutz
Coal to present additional information to the Board, and to
provide for additional public comment, and
WHEREAS, such hearings and proceedings have resulted
in the issuance of a certain limited improvement permit to
install footings and foundations for certain of the proposed
improvements, without prejudice to the possible denial of said
special review permit, and
WHEREAS, the proposed mine is located in a remote
area of Pitkin County which presents certain management hard-
ships for Pitkin County unless it is meticulously controlled
and regulated, and
WHEREAS, significant possibility exists for air and
water pollution caused by the operation planned, which neces-
sitates strict environmental controls, and
WHEREAS, a special review permit should not be
granted absent the imposition of conditions which require
that the installation and operation at the Lands, more
particularly described on Exhibit A (hereinafter the
"Minesite") shall have "no significant adverse effect" on
the adjacent landownerships, stream and air quality, road
congestion, wildlife, and the general public interest, and
WHEREAS, a special review permit should require
Minesite inspections during the course of construction and
operation of the mine to assure compliance with terms and
intent of the special review permit, and
WHEREAS, the special review permit should provide
for an annual hearing to determine the continued compliance
thereof with the conditions of this resolution and permit,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board
hereby approves Anschutz Coal's special review application
under the Pitkin County Zoning Resolution and grants to The
Anschutz Corporation and to Anschutz Coal (hereinafter called
collectively "Anschutz"), their successors and assigns, the
right and privilege to use the Lands for developing, mining,
washing, storing, and otherwise preparing for market, using,
transporting, loading, shipping and selling coal, coke and
other products of coal, including the rights to use the Lands
to construct, maintain, enlarge, repair, alter and operate
all pipelines, conveyors, telephone
coal washing facilities, buildings,
and structures, as may be necessary,
lines, power lines, tipples,
shops, plants, fixtures
useful or convenient
to its use of the Lands for the life of the mine subject
to the terms and conditions as follows, the Board hereby
concluding that upon the following terms and conditions all
of the findings required by Section VI of the Pitkin County
Zoning resolution can be and are hereby made:
Strict Compliance - Anschutz shall not engage
in any aspect of any development except in
strict compliance with all conditions hereof,
all of which are imposed pursuant to the above
referenced authority, or to other delegated
authority, including, e.g., H.B. 1041.
2e
Permits - Anschutz Coal agrees to obtain all
necessary permits and approvals from all
federal, state and local agencies prior to
the commencement of the activity or operation
which is the subject of such permit or approval.
Anschutz further agrees to comply with an abide
by all federal, state and local laws, regula-
tions, orders, permits and approvals in conduct
of its operations and activities on the Lands.
Anschutz is required specifically to comply
with all conditions of permits required by the
Garfield County Commissioners and the City of
Carbondale. Anschutz may of course contest in
good faith any such laws, regulations, orders
or the like.
Anschutz shall furnish copies of all permits it
obtains relating to operations or activities on
the Lands to the Board.
3. Reclamation and Reve~etation of Minesite and
Accessory Areas -
If reasonably required by the Board and
consistent with the plan described in
paragraph 8 below, Anschutz shall construct
berms above and below the existing concrete
covering of North Thompson Creek at the
Minesite so as to perserve the stream from
surface runoff pollution, protect aquatic
habitat, and the like. Surface drainage
shall be channeled to settling ponds. The
disturbed area shall be revegetated as part
of the revegetation plan.
be
Above the No. 1 Mine opening and the concrete
culvert, the northeast area of the stream
side shall be rip-rapped with large boulders
or equivalent to prevent additional erosion
of the stream bank.
Ail trash, scrap iron, etc., shall be re-
moved from the North Thompson Creek stream
on the Lands and within 30 feet of the
stream bed.
If reasonably required by the Board and
consistent with the plan described in
paragraph 8 below, certain sections of
North Thompson Creek shall be rechanneled
in order to create a buffer zone between
the stream and mine activity and dump
tailings thus reducing the potential for
stream pollution. Such rechannelization
shall be accomplished according to the
implementation technique and design criteria
of the Division of Wildlife as more fully
described in Exhibit I. The channelization
shall be conducted under the direct super-
vision of the Division of Wildlife. Such
rechannelization work shall be accomplished
by the time of the first annual permit
hearing.
Ail areas where excavation and construction,
if any, has been completed shall be restored
to slopes less than 45 degrees, unless a
greater slope is approved in advance by the
County Engineer and the Board; top soil
shall be applied sufficient to allow revege-
tation; and reseeded and planted with plant
species appropriate to the area. Anschutz
shall, in consultation with, among others,
the Pitkin County Extension Agent, develop a
specific revegetation plan that shall be
subject to the Board's reasonable approval.
At the earliest practicable time during op-
erations, unless a longer time is approved
by the Board, Anschutz shall stabilize and
revegetate the surface disturbed in the
operation and/or construction to a natural-
appearing condition. At all times Anschutz
shall take such measures as will prevent or
control on-site and off-site damage to the
environment and public health or safety,
relating to or caused by Anschutz's opera-
tions on the Lands, including, but not
limited to:
i) control of erosion and landslides;
ii) control of water runoff;
iii) isolation, removal or control of toxic
materials;
iv)
reshaping and revegetation of disturbed
areas pursuant to revegetation procedures
developed by Anschutz in consultation
with the Pitkin County Extension Agent
and approved by the Board (e.g., mini-
mally the requirements shall be as set
forth in Exhibits C and D);
v)
preservation and enhancement of fisheries
and wildlife habitat in surface water
bodies;
vi)
stabilization of access roads by proper
grading, grade control, surface treat-
ment and vegetation.
Inspection shall be permitted by the Pitkin
County Extension Agent and/or other appropriate
government officials to evaluate rehabilitation
measures and success of revegetation.
Agricultural Conservation - Anschutz shall co-
ordinate its mining operations with the reason-
able movement of cattle through the Lands by
the North Thompson-Four Mile Mineral and Land
Corporation and other stock users of the county
road through the Lands so as not to adversely
affect the reasonable movement of cattle or
existing agricultural uses in the area without
the consent of those engaged in such activities.
5. Wildlife -
The Division of Wildlife has, by letter
dated July 18, 1975 expressed concern for
disturbance of elk wintering areas on the
south aspect of Stony Ridge due to the loca-
tion of a mine air ventilation blower. Upon
determination by the Division of Wildlife,
after hearing, that the air blower inter-
feres with effective utilization of the Stony
Ridge area for winter range habitat, Anschutz
agrees to contribute reasonable, appropriate
funds or services, or both, for specific
habitat improvement measures or other winter
ranges in order to prevent a loss of elk
through depletion of winter range. The
amount of such reasonable monies or services
to be designated for such purposes shall be
determined by the Board on advice of the
Division of Wildlife and after consultation
with Anschutz.
It is recognized that additional car traffic
in the area and the extended hours of opera-
tion of the mine may facilitate poaching of
game. Anschutz shall develop rules for
employees to minimize or eliminate such
poaching.
Environmental Healt______~h - Anschutz hereby agrees
to obtain approvals of the Colorado Department
of Health of its water and sewer systems and
to abide by appropriate federal, state and local
laws and regulations for such operations regarding
control of fugitive dust, air pollution and
noise generation. Anschutz Coal represents that
potable water will be obtained from the under-
ground mine for use at the Minesite. The Colorado
Department of Health will approve the water source.
Should the water prove unsuitable for domestic
use, Anschutz Coal agrees to consult with the
Board before taking any action to obtain senior
adjudicated water rights involving any change
from irrigation or domestic uses. Anschutz
shall reimburse annually the County for the
County's actual and reasonable costs of mon-
itoring and sampling air and water to determine
compliance with this permit not to exceed
$1,000.00 as adjusted by changes in the cost
of living index. Such costs may be increased
pursuant to a budget presented to Anschutz at
or before any annual hearing and reasonably
approved by the Board.
Anschutz shall conduct its operations and activi-
ties on or relating to the Lands so that the
water quality of North Thompson Creek affected
thereby shall be maintained as follows:

Compliance shall be determined by sampling above
and below the total operation on the Lands and
at other such sampling points reasonably agreed
upon by the Pitkin County Environmental Health
Officer and Anschutz Coal, considering surface
run-off problems, effluent discharge points and
the like. The intent is that Anschutz shall not
be responsible for naturally caused pollution,
but shall be responsible for pre-existing man-
made causes of stream pollution. This matter
shall be reviewed at the first annual meeting
to consider its practicability. Should pollution
of North Thompson Creek occur, the burden of
proof shall be upon Anschutz to demonstrate that
it is not responsible for such pollution.
Scenic Values - Anschutz shall to the extent
practicable, harmonize operations with scenic
values through such measures as the design and
location of operating facilities, including
roads and other means of access, vegetative
screening of operations, and construction of
10.
11.
12.
structures and improvements which blend with
the landscape.
Surface Drainage and Storm Runoff Management -
Anschutz Coal agrees to prepare at its expense
a master plan for surface drainage and storm
runoff management. Such plan shall be prepared
by a qualified expert and be subject to the
reasonable approval of the Board. The plan shall
(a) include an implementation schedule; (b) be
submitted to the Board for approval within thirty
(30) days of the effective date of this permit;
and (c) include an analysis of flood danger to the
Minesite (d) be in substantial conformance with
Briscoe-Maphis guidelines as described in Ex-
hibit G. The plan is hereby incorporated as a
condition of this permit.
Solid Waste Disposal - Anschutz Coal agrees to
prepare at its expense a plan for solid waste
disposal. Such plan shall be prepared by a
qualified expert and be subject to reasonable ap-
proval of the Board. The plan shall (a) include
provisions for the concerns expressed by the
Colorado Geological Survey by letter dated July 30,
1975; (b) include an implementation schedule;
and (c) be submitted to the Board for approval
within 30 days of the effective date of this
permit. (d) be in substantial conformance with
Briscoe-Maphis guidelines as described in Exhibit
H. The plan is hereby incorporated as a condition
of this permit. In the event that the proposed
disposal site is insufficient for the term of
this permit, Anschutz Coal and the Board shall
reasonably agree upon a new site when needed and,
absent such agreement following good faith nego-
tiation, this permit shall lapse.
Bureau of Land Management - Anschutz agrees to
cooperate with the Bureau of Land Management
plans and programs for establishment of the
proposed Thompson Creek Natural Environmental
Area.
Mine Subsidence Report - A mine subsidence
report has been furnished by Anschutz pursuant
to the recommendations of the Colorado Geological
Survey, and such a report has been reviewed and
approved by the Colorado Geological Survey.
S~chools Impact - Based upon Anschutz Coal's
operations as projected in paragraph 8(a) of
Exhibit E, the Roaring Fork School District,
RE-1 by L. Allen, Superintendent, states that
Anschutz Coal "will not create any substantial
financial or space problem for the school dis-
trict.'' This has been confirmed by the present
superintendent, Nicholas R. Massaro. In the
event the Anschutz Coal school children pro-
jections are exceeded in fact by more than 15%,
the Board and Anschutz Coal shall consider at
the annual hearing whether additional commitments
should be made by Anschutz Coal, if the additional
Anschutz Coal employee students beyond those pro-
13.
14.
15.
16.
17.
jected has created a financial or space problem
for the school district.
Housing Impact - Anschutz believes that the
private sector is capable of supplying ade-
quate housing for Anschutz Coal employment
and population impacts, based upon employment
projections contained in Exhibit E. The
Board may consider at the annual hearing whether
housing impacts have adequately been met in
fact. If, in the Board's reasonable opinion,
they have not, as a result of Anschutz's
having so exceeded those projections, the
Board may require Anschutz Coal to take
reasonable measures, after consultation with
Anschutz, to alleviate those impacts.
Do__0~ Control - Dogs will be permitted on the
Lands only if under the leash control of the
owner, so as to minimize possible negative
wildlife impacts.
H.B. 1041 ~esignations - Official historic
sites in existence on the Lands shall be
preserved in their natural state. Anschutz
agrees to cooperate with the Board to obtain
historic designation for the Spring Gulch Coal
Mine site and coking ovens under H.B. 1041.
The Board will provide Anschutz Coal with
written notice of any proposed designation pur-
suant to H.B. 1041 which may affect the Lands.
Such notice shall be given to Anschutz Coal
prior to 20 days before the public hearing to
be held concerning the proposed designation.
Utilities - Anschutz represents that appropriate
utility service is available on the Minesite for
the mine facilities and operations.
Tax .~nd Management Hardships - The tax revenue
projections in Exhibit E prepared by Anschutz
Coal are represented as minimal revenues to
Pitkin County given the existing mill levy, the
manner of assessment, and other relevant financial
data, and appear to represent minimal hardships
to Pitkin County given strict compliance with
the conditions of this permit. In the event the
actual revenues are at least 15 percent less than
the projected revenues, the Board and Anschutz
Coal may consider at the annual hearing requiring
additional financial commitments from Anschutz
Coal if that disparity results in tax and manage-
ment hardships for the County or the special
taxing districts therein by virtue of Anschutz's
activities and operations under this permit.
18. Road and Transportation -
ae
Anschutz Coal agrees to limit speeds of
company vehicles to 40 miles per hour on
the Pitkin County Minesite access road and
to take reasonable steps to help assure
that employees do exceed that limit on the
road.
-8-
19.
b. Anschutz shall encourage car pooling among
employees to and from the Minesite.
In cooperation with the City of Carbondale
and Garfield County, Anschutz will investi-
gate the installation of a bus shuttle
service for its employees. Pitkin County
offers to operate such service in return
for Anschutz Coal's rebating the actual costs
of that service, as determined by the Pitkin
County Finance Officer, to Pitkin County.
In the first year of operations, Anschutz
shall install no more than 20 parking spaces
on the Lands.
The intent of the provisions of paragraphs
18(b), (c) and (d) is to encourage car
pooling, busing, etc., and to lessen motor
vehicle traffic in the area.
Road Improvement Schedule - Anschutz will
be responsible for the design, construction,
and maintenance of all stages of improvement
to the road access within Pitkin County in
support of the Anschutz mining activities.
All such improvements shall be reasonably ap-
proved by the Pitkin County Engineer. Im-
provement shall be implemented according to
the report, "Anschutz Coal Company -
Roadway Access" prepared by Briscoe, Maphis,
Murray & Lamont, Inc., which is hereby
incorporated as a condition of this permit
(Exhibit F).
Pitkin County shall pay to Anschutz a sum
not exceeding (a) the gross ton-mile tax
revenues generated by this Anschutz oper-
ation and received by Pitkin County or (b)
Anschutz's actual maintenance and road con-
struction costs, whichever is less. Pitkin
County shall have no further liability
other than as stated for payment or reim-
bursement of Anschutz for required road
improvements.
Anschutz agrees to apply for and obtain
building permits for construction of new
roads on the lands within Pitkin County.
Existin~ Mine Refuse Fire - Approximately three
quarters of a mile from the Minesite, there is
evidence of fire caused by spontaneous combustion
of a dump area into which coal wastes from the
former operation had been placed. The evidence
of the fire is that of small wisps of smoke coming
from the edge of the refuse dump. This is the
remaining remnants of refuse burning. Anschutz
Coal represents that to disturb the surface from
which the small amount of smoke is emanating
would result in an outbreak of fire to larger
areas, in that increased oxygen would be added
because of the disturbed areas, and that, there-
-9-
20.
21.
22.
23.
24.
25.
fore, the area should remain undisturbed and the
fire allowed to burn out. Anschutz Coal shall
fence and post the area from the roadside to pro-
tect persons from possible fire danger and shall
provide the Board with written evidence to support
its conclusion from another qualified authority
within ninety days.
Fir~ Protection - Fire Protection will be the
responsibility of Anschutz Coal and will be
provided by fire control systems, including
high pressure pumps, as well as chemical fire
extinguishers strategically located. Anschutz
Coal agrees to immediately notify the U.S.
Forest Service if any fire should develop on
the Lands which may threaten federal lands or
require federal assistance to extinguish.
Securit~ of the Property and Equipment - Security
of property and equipment of Anschutz Coal shall
be the responsibility of Anschutz Coal. The
Pitkin County Sheriff's Office shall be informed
of any acts requiring their notification.
Additional Mine Portals, etc. - The opening
of additiona-~i~e portal~' or creation of
new run-off or effluent discharge points
into North Thompson Creek or other streams
shall require an amendment to these permit
conditions.
Change in Ownershi~ - In the event of any change
of ownership (fee or lease) in the Lands,
Anschutz shall notify the succeeding owner or
lessee of the terms of this permit by letter, a
copy of which shall be forwarded to the Board.
In the event Anschutz is succeeded in operation
on the Lands by legal process or order of court,
the new operator shall be required to make ap-
plication to the Board for approval of it and
for continuance under this permit, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Recordation of Permit - This permit shall be
recorded in the office of the Pitkin County
Clerk and Recorder, and shall constitute a
burden running with the land.
Public Liability Insurance Policy - Anschutz
Coal agrees to post with the Board a public
liability insurance policy in the initial sum
of $300,000 for the benefit and purpose for the
protection of Pitkin County, and to indemnify
and hold harmless the County, from any liability
arising out of the maintenance, existence or
operations of Anschutz Coal on or relating to
the Lands or arising from the issuance of this
permit; such sum may be increased if the Board
determines, after consultation with Anschutz
Coal, it is reasonably necessary to do so.
26.
Performance Bond ~ In order to insure compliance
with the revegetation, and reclamation condi-
tions of this permit, Anschutz Coal agrees to
furnish to the Board a performance bond in the
amount of $20,000. In the event Anschutz Coal's
activities and operations on the Lands are con-
ducted at a rate and extent which is less than
that set forth in this permit and the Exhibits
hereto, Anschutz Coal shall only be required
to satisfy the conditions of this permit (other
than revegetation and reclamation which must be
satisfied regardless) as are reasonable in
light of the then rate and extent of Anschutz's
activities and operations on the Lands.
27. Non-Compliance - P.ublic Hearing -
ae
In the event that the Board determines that
probable cause exists that Anschutz is not
acting in substantial compliance herewith,
the Board may issue and serve upon Anschutz
a written order which shall specify the
nature of the alleged non-compliance, and
such order shall require Anschutz to cease
and desist from such non-compliance within
such reasonable time as the Board may det-
ermine. Within seven days after the receipt
of such order, Anschutz may file with the
Board either a notice advising the Board
that Anschutz is now in compliance or a
written petition requesting a hearing to
determine any one or both of the following
matters:
(i) Whether the alleged non-compliance
exists or did exist; or
(ii)
Whether a variance or extension of
time should be granted with respect
to any such non-compliance which is
determined to exist.
Upon the receipt of such a petition, the
Board shall promptly schedule a public
hearing at a reasonable time and place to
consider the matters set forth in the cease
and desist order and in the petition. The
hearing shall be convened and conducted
pursuant to the procedures normally estab-
lished by the Board for other public hearings.
The burden of going forward with the evidence
as to the existence of compliance shall be upon
Anschutz; and Anschutz shall bear the burden of
going forward with the evidence and the burden
of proof relating to the reasonableness of
requests for extensions of time and variances.
If the Board determines by a preponderance of
the evidence that non-compliance exists
that has not been remedied, it may issue such
orders as may be appropriate under the cir-
cumstances; provided, however, no order ter-
-11-
//
minating the permit shall enter without the
Board's finding substantial evidence warrants
that action. The Board may stay its order
pending further review at the instance of
Anschutz. If it does not so stay its order,
the o~der shall be effective upon delivery
to Anschutz, which may, of course, seek a
judicial stay. A final determination of
material non-compliance which has not been
remedied or for which no variance has been
granted shall at the option of the Board
terminate this permit and Anschutz shall be
required to discontinue its operations
hereunder within such reasonable time there-
after as the Board may determine.
On or before October 1, 1976, of each year
Anschutz Coal and the Board shall select a
date for a public hearing and publish public
notice thereof, at which hearing the Board
shall review Anschutz Coal's operations on or
relating to the Lands and shall give the
public an opportunity to comment thereon.
At the conclusion of such hearing, the
Board shall determine whether Anschutz has
substantially complied with the terms of
this permit and, if it has not, the Board
may issue a cease and desist order and
otherwise follow the procedures set forth
in paragraph 27(a) hereof. The Board has
the right to waive the holding of the
annual hearing upon prior notice to Anschutz
and to any known interested parties.
In the event that the Board determines that
material and reasonable conditions not now
included or incorporated in this permit
should be added to the permit for the purpose
of protecting the health and safety of the
present and future inhabitants of Pitkin
County from Anschutz's activities or opera-
tions on or relating to the Lands, the
Board may issue and serve upon Anschutz a
written notice which sets forth the language
of the proposed condition or conditions.
Within seven days after the receipt of such
notice, Anschutz shall file with the Board
a written response advising the Board that
either (a) it agrees that the proposed con-
dition or conditions may be added to this
permit or (b) it requests a hearing relating
to the proposed condition or conditions.
Upon the receipt of such a request for
hearing, the Board shall promptly schedule a
public hearing at a reasonable time and
place to consider the proposed condition or
conditions. It may hold such hearing in
conjunction with the annual hearing speci-
fied in paragraph 27(b). The hearing shall
be convened and conducted pursuant to the
procedures normally established by the
-12-
Dated:
28.
29.
30.
Board for other public hearings. If the
Board determines by a preponderance of the
evidence that additional reasonable and
material conditions to this permit are nec-
essary to protect the health and safety of
the present and future inhabitants of Pitkin
County from Anschutz's activities or opera-
tions on or relating to the Lands, the
Board may promulgate such additional material
and reasonable conditions to this permit.
The Board's final conditions shall be ef-
fective upon delivery to Anschutz; however,
the enforcement of such conditions shall be
stayed pending final administrative and
judicial review initiated by Anschutz, if
any, which review shall be filed within the
time specified in Rule 106(b), Colo. Rules
Civ. Pro.
Record Made - Amendments - Anschutz's plans,
supporting permit data, maps and statements to
the Board shall constitute and contain Anschutz's
program. Anschutz may not materially and ad-
versely change or modify its program without
prior submission thereof in writing to the
Board and approval by the Board after public
hearings if the Board so desires.
Non-Severability - This permit is granted only
upon each and every condition herein stated. If
any condition hereof be challenged by the appli-
cant and held invalid by a court of competent
jurisdiction for any reason, unless otherwise
determined by the Board upon Anschutz's appli-
cation the whole permit shall lapse and be
thereby terminated pending remand to the Board
for the formulation of proper or lawful condi-
tions in accordance with the ruling of the court
and reissuance, if any of the permit. The Board
shall act upon such remand within a reasonable
period not to exceed 60 days unless such period
is inadequate in the circumstances because of
the necessity to assemble scientific data and
the like, in which event it shall be as soon as
reasonably possible. In the event there is
enacted supervening federal or state law or re-
gulations imposing greater restrictions or pre-
empting the field of any condition, the permit
shall continue notwithstanding such change.
Notice - Ail notices issued to Anschutz here-
under shall be delivered by mailing to Anschutz
at P. O. Box 980, Carbondale, Colorado 81623,
with a copy by mail to Albert M. Keenan, 1110
Denver Club Building, Denver, Colorado 80202.
Notices to the Board shall be mailed to it at
506 E. Main Street, Aspen, Colorado 81611, with
a copy to the Pitkin County Attorney, at that
same address.
