Posey Division of Minerals and Geology 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 Denver, CO 60203 RECEIVED APR 3 0 2001 RE: M74-052 Varna Coal Ash Project Extraction of Pilot Project Study Area Weld County Coorado CGRS No. t-135-2755 Dear Harty: Division of Minerals and Geology A- ~-~ O This correspondence is intended to coned an error recently brought to our attention, as identified in your correspondence of 28 January 2002. The area of exclusion mentioned in our odginal release request of 3 Dec~nber 2001, includes the trench and wells and related fadlifles estimated a[ 1.43 aces by C.G.R.S. A buffer of 50 feet to identify the features was an additional measure to identify and separate the location from the active mirring operations of the DMG permit. While we remain uncertain as to how the request became the 'approximate 10 acres' referenced in your correspondence of 28 January, someone within the Division may have inadvertently measured the blown up area and attributed it to the released area. tt was rtot based upon our measurements or intent. In the map seated by C.G.R.S. showing these locations, ablow-up of the area where the features lie within the permit area was shown. The boundary indicated was an obvious graphical reference to better illustrate features that do not dearly display at a small scale. The boundary did not represent the intended area of release, as tt deady_would depart from the release request text and the need to mark features shown wtth markers to reflect the 50 foot buffer. tt appears to be an administrative error and an administrative remedy should be more than adequate to correct the matter. If tt would please the Division, I will plat the actual area based upon and include the 50 foot buffered distances from the fly ash disposal area features on CAD, re-m~sure digitally, and submit this as the definitive acreage of the released area should R differ from the 1.43 aces indicated in the original request. Regardless, please let me know if this will be an acceptable certedion. Thank-you for your understanding and cooperation.
