Antlerson <br />SCniOr Allornr~y <br />September 17, 1993 <br />CERTIFIED MAIL <br />RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED <br />Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board <br />State of Colorado <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />Re: Request for Formal Review of Notices of <br />Violation C-93-112. C-93-113. and C-93-114 <br />Dear Sir or Madam: <br /> <br />SF"p 20 1993 <br /> <br />On August 12, 1993, the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology ("Division") <br />issued three Notices of Violation ("NOVs") to Mountain Coal Company's West Elk <br />Mine. NOV C-93-112 alleges that Mountain Coal Company failed to provide proper <br />notice to surface land owners prior to mining in 1985. NOV C-93-113 alleges that <br />Mountain Coal Company failed to secure Division approval prior to consolidating <br />topsoil stockpiles at the West Elk Mine. Finally, NOV C-93-114 alleges that an area <br />of land near the base of the coal refuse pile is an unpermitted light use road. <br />Mountain Coal Company contests each of these allegations, and has requested that <br />the Division vacate all three NOVs. A copy of Mountain Coal Company's request to <br />the Division is attached for your review. That document sets forth the basis for <br />Mountain Coal Company's claim that these NOVs should be vacated. <br />At present, the Division has not vacated these NOVs. Mountain Coal Company <br />therefore requests that the Board formally review NOVs C-93-112, C-93-113, and <br />C-93-114 at its October meeting. Mountain Coal Company looks forward to the <br />Board's review of this matter. <br />Sin~r'l.J <br />Scot W. An ersod n <br />SWA:pd <br />cc: T. L. O'Connor DAT 3629 (w/o attachment) <br />K. G.
