G+,lJd~,erm <br />US.Depmnart grlrvenor <br />1 Qrder d, 2000 <br />!?rg 2 <br />In order to simplify and expedite review and approval of this Permit Revision submittal, we have <br />not included mining of the Ells Creek Mme Federal Coal reserves as pan of this Permit Revision <br />application. As you review the document you will find general references to the Ells Creek Federal <br />reserves and lease and associated areas since they are being incorporated into the mine permit area <br />alth thu revision. It is OMI's intent to proceed with submittal and renew of this Permit Revision <br />document and to prepare and submit a Technical Revision addressing future mining of the Elk <br />Creek Federal coal reserves in the near future. This approach limits review requirements to right <br />of entry for the expanded permit boundary, review of the updated and reformatted document for <br />coverage of currently approved activities and consistency, and verification that permit renewal <br />requirements are adequately addressed. The review process should be ftuther simplified by the <br />fact that much of the updated and reformaaed information included in this submittal has been <br />previouslysubmitted and reviewed in conjunction with Technical Revision TR-32 and other recent <br />- - revuiora. 11tr`s submittal does not include a revises bond reclamation cost estimate since nu new <br />surface disturbance is proposed. <br />This copy of the Permit Revision application u being provided for your reference and review. As <br />always, we feel that effective communication is a critical element of the permitting process. <br />Therefore, please feel free to contact Sandy Brown of the DMG at (303) 866-3567, Kathy Welt of <br />OMI at (970) 929-5122, or me at (970) 879-6260 with any questions regarding this submittal, or if <br />we can provide any clarifications or supplemental information. <br />Sincerely yours, <br />Montgomery Watson Muting Group for <br />Oxbow ?vLniz>grl~ <br />~~~~ <br />Manager <br />JNIN:sIw <br />cc: S.
