I was due to be in Denver on the 24th & 25th of February 1993, and thought that a roundtable meeting would be good for all parties involved. Unfortunately, you returned my call saying that you could not meet as requested due to the fact that you were to be out of Denver at that time. As discussed during our last conversation in February, I informed you that Leo Beeman has been retained to carry out the drill program needed to satisfy the MLRD request for more detailed aquifer information upon the respective formations. During our discussion I emphasized the fact that due to the very heavy snowfall this winter, we are not able to carry out the drill program until the snow receeds for the drill sites to be to the extent that machinery can be brought in. The only work for Pennsylvania West Coal Company during this interim period, is to carry out the quarterly water test. I was disappointed with your letter dated December 24, 1992 (received for January 1993), in that completeness of PWCC application was not given but delayed until the results of the drill program are received by MLRD. As you are aware, these results will not be available from for the lab until May 1993. Therefore, no work can be done by PWCC employees, it's engineers and geologists until a completness letter is given and difficiencies itemized by your department. It would seem more productive for all parties involved if completeness were given (with the understanding that the drill program must be completed by a specific date) so that work can proceed post haste.
