I would like to take this opportunity to <br />explain our organizational hierarchy as it pertains to this <br />particular permitting action. <br />The Office of Mined Land Reclamation is the section within the <br />Division of Minerals and Geology that regulates new and current <br />mining operations. This office consists of two programs, the <br />Coal Program and the Minerals Program. The Coal Program is under <br />the direction of Steven G. Renner, the Coal Program Supervisor. <br />Below Mr. Renner are three Senior Specialists of which I am one. <br />Each Senior Specialist manages a team of from four to five <br />Reclamation Specialists. <br />Each of these Reclamation Specialists is assigned Lead Specialist <br />responsibilities over a group of mines, usually numbering around <br />six. In addition, Reclamation Specialists are frequently called <br />upon by their Senior Specialist to lend technical assistance to <br />other Reclamation Specialists, especially in the area of permit <br />reviews. <br />Harry Ranney has been assigned Lead Specialist responsibility for <br />the new Coal Gulch Mine application process. As such, Mr. Ranney <br />has the option to call upon other Reclamation Specialists within <br />our team for technical assistance. Because there may be other <br />Specialists assisting Harry during the review of this <br />application, please direct all your questions regarding the <br />application to him only. This will help eliminate any <br />miscommunications and misunderstandings between our office and <br />yours during this permit application procedure. Conversely, we <br />will direct our inquiries and responses to you personally, to <br />further reduce miscommunication. <br />I hope this letter has served to clarify our organizational <br />structure and project responsibility designations. Please call <br />me if you have any questions. <br />
