III IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII ., i ..>~ , a February 7, 1979 Dan Reinhardt Ute J:nglneering Company P.O. Box 674 443 Dodge Delta, Colorado 81416 09ar Dan: t have reviewed your draft application and made obeeevations directly on pages within it. 1 have enclosed the 211 regulatiose which era applicable to Bear Mlne. In the absence of a Ca>perative Agreement between Mined Land Reclnmatlon and OSM, separatr. federal approval of the 211 mining plan will ho required. Fear 141ne may have in nego- tiate a separate operating agreement with OS`1 for the period which ensues prior to federal approval. Please prepare your application in accordancd with the t1LR rules, the 211 coal mining operating regulatloee, whtcli include the federal interim regulatory program under 717. Submit four copies [o MLR and 7 copies, at the same time, to OS!d. A Joint review will be performed by reclamation specialists at OSM and MLR. After [hr_ a~plicntlon is deemed to be com- ~,, plate enough to evaluate Its technical merits, tl,e federal approval proeoss as described In tl,r, 211 re~ulatlons will Benin. Coordination should ~~ allow nearly simultaneous action on the application by the Mined Land Reclnmatlon Board and by OSM. ,._ The pres~ece of federal coal In the Dear Mlne completely changes the administratlve processing of the permit application. Hopefully, the cooperative agreement between !state and Federal regulatory agencies will be consummated soon and the review process for future appllcatlons will be simplified greatly. Please read through your draft plan page by page and assimilate the comments. Your final application may be presented In the MLR format with careful cross referencing to the interim regulations (717s),aand the 211s. If you address the 211s and 717s separately please include references in the appropriate MLR exhibits. I've discussed the surety agreement wltfioour attorney and he will have something soon. _. . :., . . _ d"r<` i
