Prior to rendering this decision, the Albuquerque Field Office (AFO) had requested <br />technical assistance from the Western Support Center (WSC) regarding the sediment standard <br />comparisons needed for baseline data as well as vegetative cover data. There is one matter that <br />should be addressed for future reference, however, the Division of Minerals and Geology must <br />prepare a decision document excluding the areas that have not been included in the Phase I bond <br />release. Concurrence from this office will be made with the stipulation that the areas not released <br />are identified, and noted as such, within 2 weeks of the receipt of this letter. <br />Pursuant to the WSC finding regarding this matter, AFO agrees with the proposed decision <br />document dated November 20, 1992, to approve a partial Phase II Bond Release at the Meeker <br />Area Mines. The latest WSC findings document regarding the sediment standards comparison <br />review is enclosed for your information. <br />Thank you and your staff for your efforts in coordinating this bond release through our office. <br />Sincerely, <br />Thomas E.
