This decision will be published in the Cañon City Daily Record as soon as <br />possible. The first day following publication of the notice initiates a thirty (30) day public comment <br />period. If, within thirty days, there are no requests for an adjudicatory hearing, the decision will <br />become final. <br /> <br />SL-05 is a Phase III Bond Release and termination of the Division’s jurisdiction for the revoked <br />Southfield Mine. This decision constitutes a full release of reclamation liability for the Southfield <br />Mine. Pursuant to Rule 3.03.3(1), the Division is proposing to terminate its jurisdiction over this <br />entire coal mining operation. <br /> <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.
