Specifically, see <br />sections (II)(D)(3) and (III)(F)(4). <br /> <br />For the reasons described above, we request that the Division of Reclamation, Mining <br />and Safety hold a public hearing to provide accurate information as to the specific <br />activity to be undertaken at the Bowie #2 Mine by BRL, Oxbow, and J. E. Stover & <br />Associates, Inc. We also request that the public comment period be extended to allow <br />the public more opportunity to submit meaningful comments. <br /> <br />Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Andrew Forkes-Gudmundson <br />Associate Program Director <br />Citizens for a Healthy Community <br />PO Box 1283 <br />Paonia, CO 81428 <br />
