Auffrey <br />Bent County Courthouse <br />Las Animas, Colorado 81054 <br />J <br />Re: Adams, Bent County, Etchart, U.S. <br />Dean, and Clodfelter pits. <br />File Nos. 83-177 through 83-183, <br />Dear Mr. Auffrey: <br />Army Corps of Engineers, Smartt, <br />respectively, inclusive <br />The complete letter concerning. the 110 applications for the seven pits <br />captioned above that was sent to you on September 8, 1983 was in error <br />as to the tentative dates of consideration by the Mined Land Reclamation <br />Board. The letter gave the dates as November 16-17, 1983. The correct <br />dates are September 21-22, 1983. I am sorry for this error. <br />This is important considering the short time before the scheduled Board <br />meeting. To date, our Division has not received the Colorado Division <br />of Wildlife statements for these seven operations. Without these <br />evaluations, it is very difficult to do a proper adequacy review of these <br />applications. Without such a review by the Division (and your responses <br />to it) for all of these pits, I cannot recommend approval of these applica- <br />tions to the Board. Furthermore, publication (for 2 sequential weeks in <br />a local newspaper) must be completed before the upcoming meeting, or else <br />the Board cannot consider the applications. I think it quite likely that <br />this connot be accomplished in time. <br />Given this situation, I suggest that you give me a written request for a <br />continuance of Board consideration of these seven applications until the <br />October 26-27, 1983 meeting (or a phone request followed by a letter). <br />By that time, I am sure that these problems can be resolved and my adequacy <br />reviews of the applications can be completed and responded to by you. <br />Please call if you have any questions. <br />S~~in__cerennly, <br />"fY~'~- <br />Mark S.
