{r1 <br />U <br />• <br /> <br />ANACONDA Minerals Company <br />555 Seventeenth Street <br />Denver, Colorado 40202 <br />Telephone 303 575 4000 <br />August 10, 1982 <br />Mr. Allen D. Klein <br />Administrator <br />Western Technical Center <br />U.S. Department of the Interior <br />Office of Surface Mining <br />Brooks Towers <br />1020 15th Street <br />Denver, Colorado 80202 <br />Dear Mr. Klein: <br />iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii <br />999 <br />!~ q, <br />This letter references your letter of June 24, 1982 to Mr. David Shelton, Director, <br />Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Division, in which you notified him of OSM's <br />approval of Atlantic Richfield's application to revise OSM Permit No. CO-0021. <br />This revision application was submitted to the OSM to allow for the drilling of <br />four coal exploration holes within the Mt. Gunnison five-year permit area. Due to <br />an internal re-evaluation of the proposed drilling activity, this operation will now <br />be less extensive than that described in the revision application. We originally <br />proposed to drill four exploration holes and now intend to drill, within the short <br />term, only two of those holes. Hole No. 5 described in Exhibit B of our <br />application will not be drilled and the drilling of Hole No. 4 has been postponed. <br />Since Hole No. 5 will not be drilled, no new roads will have to be constructed on <br />Forest Service property. The possibility remains that we may drill Hole No. 4 <br />sometime within the next eighteen months and request that this activity be <br />authorized under this revision to our permit. <br />OSM's Stipulation No. L which requires that we conduct a 100% cultural resources <br />inventory of the area to be disturbed was recently completed for those areas <br />which we intend to disturb prior to October 1, L982. In the event that Hole No. 4 <br />is drilled at some later date, and is authorized as requested under this permit <br />revision, all applicable permit stipulations including OSM's Stipulation 1 will be <br />complied with. <br />If you have any questions or need any additional information, please do not <br />hesitate to contact me at 575-7949. I look forward to hearing from you <br />concerning the extension of this permit. <br />Sincerely, <br />7~0-._~~~ .~ <br />Paige B.
