I have reviewed the written findings <br />prepared by Brock Bowles, Sandra Brown, and Steve Renner. I acknowledge the completed <br />reclamation work done by the Division's staff. The Coal Basin Mine was a large reclamation <br />project, and I recognize the fact Division will no longer be involved in reclamation activities at <br />the mine site. <br />I would like to extend a sincere thank you to the employees of the Colorado Division of <br />Reclamation Mining and Safety for the years of work put into the reclamation of the Coal Basin <br />Mine. Specifically, I would like to commend Steve Renner for his dedication and commitment <br />to seeing this project through from start to finish with the upmost level of professionalism. Steve <br />was involved with this project intensively for seven years and with continued work at the site for <br />another 12 years. The Forest Service benefited from Steve's hard work with the reclamation of <br />the Coal Basin Mine, so again, thank you for your support over the years at this site. <br />If you need any further documentation from the Forest Service regarding the Coal Basin Mine, <br />please do not hesitate to contact me at 970.963.226. <br />Sincerely, <br />/s/ Karen Schroyer <br />KARENSCHROYER <br />District Ranger <br />cc: dfrancomb <br />s <br />ow- <br />Caring for the Land and Serving People Printed on Recycled Paper <br />
