Page Two <br />The state of Colorado shares your commitment to <br />effective coal mine reclamation on the ground. We also <br />share your desire to address coordination issues and the <br />relationship between OSM and state regulatory <br />authorities. It is in that context that I have written <br />to. Secretary Babbitt requesting a meeting of the <br />Colorado coal industry and OSM to establish a new <br />process for addressing interpretation and implementation <br />of standards and procedures. I am sure we agree that <br />the key to solving differences in interpretation of the <br />law is through proper administrative channels, not <br />through litigation. <br />The Department of Natural Resources is ready to .work <br />with you in this effort. Thank you for your attention <br />to this matter. <br />Sincerely, <br />Roy r <br />Governor <br />RR:wkg <br />cc: Kerr Coal Company <br />Enclosure <br />
