This area is estimated to cover approximately 1.43 acres. The <br /> attached figure depicts the study area. Only the Pilot Project study area will be <br /> extracted. <br /> ➢ The removal of the study area from the DMG permit will not require public comment. <br /> D Varra Companies will copy DMG on all scientific correspondence. <br /> As presented above, Varna Companies requests that DMG extract the coal ash study area <br /> from MLRB Permit No. M-74-052. Any effort to expedite this request is greatly <br /> appreciated. <br /> P.O. BOX 1489 ■ FORT COLLINS,COLORADO 80522 ■ PHONE: 970-493-7780 ■ FAX: 970r 03-7986 <br />
