4/21/2014 State.co.us Executive Branch Mail - Request for assistance: Golden Eagle Mine vegetation data <br />Simmons - DNR, Leigh <leigh.simmons @state.co.us> Fri, Apr 18, 2014 at 4:37 PM <br />To: Brock Bowles - DNR <brock.bowles @state.co.us> <br />Cc: Sandy Brown - DNR <sandy.brown @state.co.us >, Alysha Hernandez - DNR <alysha.hernandez @state.co.us> <br />Brock, <br />have received some vegetation sampling data from New Elk Coal Company, for the Golden Eagle mine. The <br />data, which is attached, was submitted unofficially and does not form part of a bond release application. <br />A scan of the data suggests to me that the vegetative cover and diversity within the permit area is good with <br />respect to the vegetation in the reference area. I think that it suggests that a bond release application could be <br />viable. <br />would value your comments on the following: <br />1. The suitability of the site for a bond release application <br />2. The sampling methodology <br />made a comment relating to sampling methodology in the initial adequacy letter for RN6. For your reference the <br />letter can be viewed at http: / /drmswebiink.state.co.us /drmsweblink /O /doc /1021067 /Page1.aspx ?searchid= <br />7aee7d05-e07a-48f1 -87bf- OfOb7fO539a8, <br />have tried not to enclose too much extraneous information in this message, please let me know what else would <br />help you to make a comment. <br />Finally, there is no firm deadline associated with this request, but as a sign of goodwill I would like to respond to <br />the operator before, say, the end of May. <br />Thanks, <br />Leigh <br />Leigh Simmons I <br />Environmentat Protection S1111 L <br />COLORADO <br />Division of Reclamation, <br />J&17 Mining and Safety <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />P 303, 866.3567 x 8121 I F 303 x 832, 8106 <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203 <br />teigh,simmons @state.co.us I http : / /mining.state.co.us/ <br />---- - - - - -- Forwarded message ---- - - - - -- <br />From: Ron Thompson <ronthompson @newelkcoal.com> <br />Date: Thu, Mar 27, 2014 at 10:49 AM <br />Subject: Golden Eagle Mine <br />To: "Simmons, Leigh" <Leigh.
