. , <br /> <br />Mr. Raymond J. Gro•ll -2- • August 16, 1982 <br />4. The Colorado Surface Coal Mining Reclamation Act (39-33-101 et. sue.) <br />and the Rules and Regulations promulgated pursuant to the Act do not give <br />the Division authority for conducting an assessment of socio-economic impacts. <br />This type of assessment is normally undertaken by the Ioca1 planning authority <br />and/or the Federal Office of Surface Mining during their determination of <br />compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act. I also refer you to <br />the Colorado West Central Environmental Impact Statement for an~assessment of <br />socio-economic impacts for the Loma project on a worst case basis. <br />Please contact me if you have any further concerns or questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />~ ~ ~~~ <br />Brian E. Munson <br />Senior Reclamation Specialist <br />BEM:ys <br />cc: Mesa County Board of Commissioners <br />Mr. Bill Bosworth <br />hfr. Dave Sturges <br />
