III IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII <br />STATF, OF COLO~'~A~O <br />DIVISION OF MINERALS AND GEOLOGY <br />Department o(Natural Resources <br />1313 Sherman 51., Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />Phone: 13071 H66-3567 <br />FA%:1303) 832-8106 <br />March 8, 1993 <br />Mr. Robert Hagen <br />Office of Surface Mining <br />Albuquerque Field Office <br />505 Marquette, NW Ste. 1200 <br />Albuquerque, NM 87102 <br />RE: TDN X-92-020-370000-003, Roadside Mine (C-81-041) <br />Dear Mr. Hagen: <br />,:pF'~O~Q ` <br />~,'~~ ~ ~Sr Qo\ <br />_ i.~ <br />~ Fo nirr <br />Governor <br />,~echaelB Lonµ <br />Dn mm~ Director <br />The Division of Minerals and Geology received a copy of the OSM Deputy <br />Director's February 25, 1993 correspondence regarding the above- <br />referenced Ten Day-Notice on March 5, 1993. In that letter, the <br />Deputy Director found that a violation existed at the Roadside Mine <br />because the sumps at the North Decline had not been certified by a <br />registered professional engineer. The Deputy Director instructed the <br />AFO to conduct another federal inspection of the mine. <br />Enclosed are copies of certifications for the North Decline sumps <br />which were prepared by Powderhorn Coal Company. I understand that an <br />AFO field inspector reviewed the original documents during the <br />February 23, 1993 Federal inspection. As the certifications have been <br />prepared, it would appear that a violation no longer exists at this <br />site. <br />Since the violation cited in the TDN does not exist at this time, and <br />because the AFO has apparently viewed these documents, it would not <br />appear that another Federal inspection or further enforcement actions <br />are necessary. However, should the AFO determine to conduct yet <br />another inspection, we would appreciate being notified at least three <br />days in.advance for the purpose of conducting a joint inspection. <br />Please contact me if you have questions or comments. <br />Sincerel , <br />Steven G.
