This decision will <br />become final at the close of the thirty (30) day public comment period, which commences with <br />the initial publication in the Durango Herald. A copy of the proposed decision and written <br />findings is enclosed. <br /> <br />The SL-05 Phase III application proposes final bond and liability release for the reclaimed <br />Carbon Junction Mine. If approved in its entirety, SL-05 would terminate jurisdiction of this <br />mine by the Division. This decision constitutes a full release of reclamation liability for the <br />Carbon Junction Mine. Pursuant to Rule 3.03.3(1), the Division is proposing to terminate its <br />jurisdiction over this entire coal mining operation. <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 />
