I include an image of the site for your reference. <br />There may exist a potential for a water and debris discharge if the portal seal /backfill fails. This would <br />potentially impact property and /or people below the location. The portal is located above the Kokopelli Farm <br />Market, and the adjacent 1 -70 on /off ramps. <br />Snowcap Coal Co., Inc. has engaged a geotechnical expert, and we expect word from their expert sometime <br />tonight or tomorrow. <br />We cannot quantify the risk of a discharge at this time, but thought it best to inform you of the situation. <br />
