We also find that <br />maximum economic recovery of the federal coal within LMU 57202 that contains active federal <br />leases COC37210 and COC61209 as well as the recently issued federal lease COC75916 known <br />as Spruce Stomp would be achieved. <br />Also, as a result of mine plan reviews, and in harmony with BLM's land use plan for the North <br />Fork region, we are giving our consent as a land management agency for underground coal <br />mining where portions of the surface included within boundaries of federal leases COC37210, <br />COC61209, and COC75916 are managed by BLM. <br />These determinations cover the entire leased lands encompassed in PR -14. If you have any <br />questions, please call Desty Dyer at 970 - 240 -5302. <br />Sincerely, <br />Barbara L. Sharrow <br />Field Office Manager <br />CC: Bill Bear, Bowie Resources Limited <br />Susan L. Burgmaier, Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology <br />
