This decision will be published in the Durango Herald as soon as <br />possible. Publication of the notice initiates a thirty (30) day public comment period. If, within <br />thirty days, there are no requests for an adjudicatory hearing, the decision will become final. <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 />As an interested party, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing as outlined under Rule <br />3.03.2(6) of the Rules and Regulations. The request for an adjudicatory hearing must be written <br />and state with specificity the reasons why the hearing is requested. The request must be received <br />within thirty days of the first publication of the proposed decision in the Durango Herald. <br />Copies of the proposed decision and findings are available for review at the Division office at the <br />above address and on the Division's website at <br />http://mining.state.co.us/Reports/MiningData/Pa esg /ImagedDocumentData.aspx.
