III IIIIIIIIIIIII III 999 STATE OF COLORADO Roy Romer, Govei DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES MINED LAND RECLAMATION DIVISION DAVID C. SHELTON, Director P4ay 8, 1987 Mr. Dean Massey, Esa, Parcel; Mauro, Holtin and Spannstra 3600 City Center 4 1801 California Street Denver, Colorado 80202 Re: Status of G.E.C. Resolution - Bond Forfeiture Dear Mr, Massey: At the October 23 and 24, 1986 meeting of the Mined Land Reclamation Board, a formal public hearing was initiated to discuss the status of the Board order that directs G.E.C. to reclaim the G.E,C, mine site and the status of the bond situation. That formal public hearing has been continued for several months pending presentation by G.E.C. of acceptable alternatives to the existing Board order, Among topics that have heen discussed with the Board during those hearings has been the lack of progress on reclamation at the site, lack of adeouate bond and the forfeiture of the remaining bond, More recently the alternative reclamation plan effort has focused upon development of a three party agreement between G.E.C., the Tandowner, Dr, Corley, and Energy Fuels Corporation, Communication we have had from the parties today indicates that the negotiation effort to develop an agreement has failed. Given this,.we want to make it clear to you that the Division fu1Ty intends to recommend at the May 27 and 28, 1987 Board meeting that the Board forfeit the bonds that the state currently holds for the G.E.C. mine site. From the Division perspective, this recommendation would be withheld only if a satisfactory alternative is presented to the Division before the Board meeting, We regret that this appears to time, but we felt it necessary recommend bond forfeiture, If call Mike Long or myself, be the only acceptable to inform you directly you have any questions alternative at this of our intent to regarding this, please rel - G F d anta "s r, Coal Program J FRB/lal cc: Steve Layton Linda White 423 Centennial Building, 1313 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado B0203-2273 Tel.
