The <br />Division is in the process of addressing your concerns in the quickest manner possible. The Division <br />would like to address a few of your concerns identified in the letter. The Mined Land Reclamation <br />Board (Board) in conjunction with the Division is requiring the Operator to submit a Permanent <br />Groundwater Mounding Mitigation Plan (permanent plan). The Operator is responsible for selecting a <br />method to comply with the required permanent plan. The method proposed by the Operator is subject to <br />the Division's review and approval. The Operator must obtain legal right to enter from the landowner to <br />construct the proposed french drain (by no means is the Division requiring the Einsphars to grant legal <br />right to enter to the Operator). The Division did not specify the manner or location to which the <br />permanent plan would be implemented. <br />If you need additional information please contact me at the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety, <br />1313 Sherman St., Room 215, Denver, CO 80203, by telephone at 303 - 866 -3567, extension 8131, or by <br />email at Tyler.
