(Tri- State), is the parent company to <br />Axial Basin Coal Company, which is the general partner to Colowyo Coal Company L.P. Therefore, Tri- <br />State on behalf of Colowyo is submitting the Colorado Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety <br />(Division) Coal Exploration Drill Hole or Well Abandonment Report. <br />Enclosed you will find the Division's Coal Exploration Drill Hole or Well Abandonment Report <br />for LW- 05 -15. An abandonment report was originally submitted for this drill hole on October 13, 2006. <br />The drill hole was found to be open during your bond release inspection June 12 — 19, 2013, apparently as <br />a result of a collapse of the original plugging material. The drill hole was subsequently filled with an <br />additional six bags of bentonite chips. The amended report reflects the initial 27 bags of bentonite chips <br />along with the additional six — resulting in a total of 33 bags. <br />If you should have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Tony <br />Tennyson at 970 - 824 -1232. <br />Sincerely, <br />Chris S.
