Cattany <br />Division Director <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />The Division of Minerals and Geology received February's monthy status report from BTU Empire <br />Corporation (formerly known as RAG-Empire, prior to the name change as registered with the Colorado <br />Secretary of State's Office) on February 22, 2005. This monthly status report also requested that the <br />Division extend the proposed decision date for Permit Renewal No. 4. It is our understanding from your <br />letter received February 22, 2005, that BTU-Empire did not suggest a specific extension date due to the <br />ongoing litigation involved with a right of entry matter between the operator and landowners within the <br />permit boundary. The Division will grant an extension of the proposed decision date for Permit <br />Renewal No. 4 until Apri129, 2005. BTU-Empire Corporation must continue to provide monthly court <br />proceedings to the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology, and provide the Division and the <br />Colorado State Attorney Generals Office copies of all court Pleadings. <br />Please call if you have any additional questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />Specialist <br />981044/RN04/Extension 4292005.doc <br />Cc: Dan Hernandez, DMG <br />Dave Beny, DMG <br />Cheryl Linden, AGO <br />Mr. Ray Bazker and Mr. Brad Bazker, 763 NE North Lake Way, Seattle, WA 98105 <br />Office of Office of Colorado <br />Mined Land Reclamation Active and Inactive Mines Geological Survey <br />
