This order is entered by the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board <br />on this, the 22nd day of September, 1993. <br />WHEREAS: <br />i. The Mined Land Reclamation Board ("the Board") entered into a <br />settlement agreement with American Shield Coal Company on March 25, <br />1992 in regard to reclamation of highwalls at the Fruita No. 1 and <br />2 Mines. This agreement was modified by a second agreement between <br />the same two parties on December 16, 1992. <br />2. The agreements referenced in item one above ordered the <br />Division of Minerals and Geology ("the Division") to issue a <br />reclamation permit to American Shield following approval of <br />proposed changes to the Regulations of the Colorado Mined Land <br />Reclamation Board for Coal Mining and to extend the abatement due <br />date of Notice of Violation C-91-024 until such time as that permit <br />was issued. <br />3. On August 9, 1993 the United States Office of Surface Mining <br />Reclamation and Enforcement requested that the above referenced <br />settlement agreements be revoked, following a legal review which <br />concluded that the agreements contravene the currently approved <br />State program. <br />4. On September 22, 1993, the Division recommended to the Board <br />that the above referenced settlement agreements be revoked. <br />THEREFORE, by this order, the Board hereby revokes the settlement <br />agreements between the Board and the American Shield Coal Company <br />dated March 25, 1992 and December 16, 1992. <br />DATED this 23 r~l day of September, 1993. <br />Maxine Stewar C rperson <br />Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board <br />m:\coal\lpr\91793 <br />
