Shelton <br />Director <br />Re: Alluvial Valley Floor, Informal Opinion From MLRD <br />Our File No. C-014-81, Dorchester b1 Ffi ne <br />Our File No. C-DIS-81, Dorchester - Fruita Mine <br />Dear Darrel: <br />The purpose of this letter is to inform you of the actions of the Colorado <br />Mined Land Reclamation Board taken at their meeting on Fehruary 25, 1981, <br />relative to your requests as referenced above. <br />For the Dorchester Nl application, the Board found that it does not have <br />information which would allow it to give an opinion regarding the presence <br />of alluvial valley floors in or adjacent to the proposed permit area. <br />It was decided that further effort to resolve this question should be handled <br />as a part of the overall adequacy review of the entire permit application. <br />The enumeration of additional information required by the Division to make <br />the required written finding will be forwarded as soon as available. <br />For the Dorchester-Fruita application, the Board found that the information <br />provided to the MLRD is sufficient to render an informal opinion that the <br />Fruita Mines do not appear to be located in or adjacent to an alluvial valley <br />floor. It should be emphasized that the Board's opinion is informal, and <br />does not in any way relieve Dorchester Coal Company from its obligations to <br />submit all appropriate information required for permit approval. <br />If you have any questions in this regard, feel free to call either of us. <br />Sincerely, <br />Pe for H. Evans <br />J.im Herron <br />P.eclamation Specialist <br />
