Banta, <br />`J~ Division Director <br />/~~~! <br />U <br />RE: REQUEST THAT THE ABATEMENT DATE FOR NOV C-90-030 ISSUED TO <br />THE FRUTI'A MINE (FILE# C-81-015) BE EXTENDED FOR AN ADL)ITIONAL 30 DAYS. <br />I am requesting pursuant to Rule 5.03.2(2)(c) of the Regulations of the l~olorado <br />Mined Land Reclamation Board for Coal Mining to extend the abatement deadline for <br />NOV C-90-030 for an additional 30 days from November 23 to December 23, 1990. This <br />would extend the abatement period a total of 60 days beyond the origina190 day <br />abatement period . <br />NOV C-90-030 was issued to the American Shield Coal Company, Fruita lvline on July 26, <br />1990 for failure to reclaim upon permanent closure and for not implementing the <br />approved reclamation plan. This plan, as approved, required American Shield Coal <br />Company to complete reclamation at the site by June 4, 1990. Because of a lawsuit <br />this company was unable to get the money to do the reclamation. The NOV was issued <br />and American Shield was given a 90 day abatement deadline to comptet~~ backfilling <br />and grading by October 24, 1990. Because American Shield required a bond reduction <br />to release enough money to conduct the reclamation, and this process took longer <br />than they had originally anticipated, the deadline was extended 30 days to November <br />23rd. Because the bank has also required some time to release the money to American <br />Shield an additional 30 days is requested. As of November 23rd this company has <br />issued a check to the contractor who will mobilize equipment during the week of <br />November 26th. <br />RPP/rpp <br />cc: Jim Stevens <br />
