Mr. Fontanari's lands were excluded from the scope of any bond release in SL - <br />08 due to the Division's need for further hydrology and mining evaluation. [Proposed Decision, <br />Pgs. 34-35] My office is engaging professional consultants to review the current subsidence and <br />hydrology matters in order to confer with the Division in an informed manner. It would be very <br />helpful to all to build a full background of Division data on the subject properties. <br />In accordance with C.R.S. §24-72-204, should your office decline to provide any or all <br />of the materials requested herein, then demand is made for an explanation, in writing, of all <br />grounds upon which this request is refused or denied. <br />
