The NOVs <br />concern surface owner notification (NOV C-93-1121, topsoil consolidation (NOV C-93- <br />113), and light use roads (NOV C-93-114). <br />At present, Mountain Coal Company believes that these NOVs should be vacated. <br />Mountain Coal Company is, however, having some difficulty collecting documentation <br />concerning the facts underlying the NOVs. This difficulty is especially acute for the <br />NOV arising from surface owner notifications, which involves events that occurred <br />nine years ago. Mountain Coal Company therefore requests permission to have until <br />September 7, 1993 to submit to you a letter explaining why these NOVs should be <br />vacated. <br />Thank you for considering this request. Mountain Coal Company looks forward to <br />discussing these NOVs with you in greater detail. <br />Sincerely, <br />S(~ ~ ~~ <br />Scot W. Anderson <br />cc: David Berry, Division of Minerals and Geology <br />Steven Renner, Division of Minerals and Geology <br />Christine Johnston, Division of Minerals and Geology <br />Kathleen G.
