Shelton <br />Director <br />November 23, 1982 <br />Mr. Henry l•I. Lindsey <br />Star Route <br />Arboles, Colorado 81121 <br />Dear Mr. Lindsey: <br />The Division has received your letter regarding concern with water quality. IJe <br />have also received other letters from people in the area referencing a similar <br />problem allegedly resulting from activities at the Chimney Rock coal mine. <br />Although not specifically stated in your letter, I assume you feel that your <br />water quality is being impacted by mining operations at the Chimney Rock coal <br />mine. I can appreciate your concern, but am not able to look into the matter <br />without additional information. For example, do you feel your water is impacted <br />by mining? If so, what mine and what evidence do you base this conclusion on? <br />I was not able to contact you by phone since .you did not include a phone number <br />in your letter. <br />I have forwarded a copy of this letter to Chimney Pock Coal Company to solicit <br />their response. I would also note that a public hearing concerning the issuance <br />of a Dermit to conduct coal mining by Chimney Rock Coal Company is scheduled to <br />be held on December 16,1982 in Denver. If you have any interest for additional <br />information, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />~ ~ <br />Edward L. Bischoff ~~ /~' <br />Senior Reclamation 5p~dialist <br />ELB/mmt <br />cc: Mr. Rode Orell, Chimney Rock Coal Company <br />
