Long <br />Division D'rxior <br />Re: Raton Creek Mine (C-82-055): Phase I Bond Release (SL-02), Propose <br />Decision to Approve, <br />Dear Mr.Ossola: <br />The Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology has issued a proposed decision to approve <br />a request for a partial release of the reclamation liability for the Raton Creek Mine. Please <br />find enclosed a copy of the Division's proposed decision document. <br />Regarding your letter dated November 10, 1994 involving long term maintenance of the <br />permanent stream channel diversion culvert in Starkville gulch, Energy Fuels Mining <br />Company is required to maintain this structure until final bond release is granted. Final <br />bond release may be granted after a minimum of ten years. The operator is currently <br />working with the landowner to commit to maintenance of this culvert beyond the mining <br />company's reclamation bond liability period. I will forward a letter of this agreement to you <br />once it has been received by the Division. <br />If you should have comments or objections to this proposed decision, you may request a <br />public hearing as described by Rule 3.03.2(6) in the Colorado Surface Mining and <br />Reclamation Act and Regulations. This request must submitted in writing within thirty (30) <br />days of the publication of this proposed decision. <br />If you have any further questions, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />~' <br />;, .\ <br />Janet I-~t ~Binns <br />Etviron~ttental Protection Specialist <br />Enclosure <br />m:\coal\j hb\C82055 \noti ce.b rI <br />
