BOX 535 Division Director <br />Somerset, CO 81434 Natural Resource Trustee <br />RE: Beaz No. 3 Mine, Permit No. C-1981-033, Bear Coal Company <br />Phase One Bond Release Application No. 3, (SL-3) <br />Dear Mr. Kiger: <br />Bear Coai Company has applied for a Phase One bond release at the Bear No. 3 Mine. Oxbow Mining, <br />LLC is one of the surface owners of the disturbed area that has been proposed for Phase One release. <br />Due to the significant snow cover at the Beaz No. 3 Mine reclaimed azea, the Division is postponing <br />the Phase One bond release field inspection until late spring or eazly summer of 2004. Rule 3.03.2(2) <br />requires that a bond release field inspection be performed only when the reclamation work can be <br />properly evaluated by the Division. The Rule further states that there may be seasonal limitations on <br />the timing of the field inspection. This postponement is necessazy because the snow cover will prevent <br />a proper evaluation of the reclamation results. When the exact date of the bond release field inspection <br />has been set, you will be notified. <br />If you have questions or need additional information, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />r' <br />osep J.1}ridash <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />cc: Daniel Beaz (Bear Coal Company) <br />William Bear (Bowie Resources) <br />Carl Johnston (Office of Surface Mining) <br />c:/word/beaz3/sl3postponelet3 <br />Office of Office of Colorado <br />Mined Land Reclamation Active and Inactive Mines Geological Survey <br />
