This decision will become <br />final at the close of the thirty (30) day public comment period, which commences with the initial <br />publication in the Cañon City Daily Record. A copy of the proposed decision and written <br />findings is enclosed. <br /> <br />EFCI asked for Phase II and III release of 102 acres; 0.3 acre of this area was removed because <br />of the Magpie seep, which is still under discussion. EFCI asked for release of $351,376; based <br />on the cost estimate for remaining tasks, the Division proposes release of $340,922. There was <br />an additional 9.6 acres of permanent features that were not accounted for in the EFCI acreage <br />numbers in the SL-03 application. This has been included in the Phase I disturbed acres. <br /> <br /> As provided by Rule 3.03.2(6), should you object to the Division's proposed decision, you may <br />request an adjudicatory hearing. <br /> <br />If you have questions or need of additional information, please contact me. <br />
