The Division understands that, due to the recent <br />succession of operators from Sunflower Energy Corp. to Western Associated <br />Coal Corp., the review process has been somewhat delayed. As such, the final <br />decision to grant or deny your permit will alsu be delayed. However, in <br />order to continue the review period for the Blue Ribbon mine permit appli- <br />cation, it is essential that a substantial response to the concerns raised in <br />the April 23, 1981 Preliminary Adequacy Review of the application be <br />submitted to the Division as soon as possible. You have indicated that a <br />majority of the baseline data and other information currently being gathered <br />will be ready to submit by September 7, I981. This schedule is acceptable <br />to the Division as long as the response is substantial and includes a majority <br />of the necessary baseline information requested in the April 23, 1981 review <br />letter. Once this information is supplied, the review can continue in a <br />timely manner. <br />Please be advised that this situation will not affect the status of your current <br />permit as long as you continue to demonstrate a desire to~come into compliance <br />with our permanent program. <br />If you have~any questions concerning these or other matters, please do not <br />hesitate to call. <br />Sincerely, <br />/~'~ - <br />Tom Gillis <br />Reclamation Specialist <br />TG/mt <br />
