Cattany <br />Division Director <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />Due to the significant snow cover at the Beaz No. 3 Mine reclaimed site, the Division is postponing the <br />Phase One bond release field inspection until late spring or early summer of 2004. Rule 3.03.2(2) <br />requires that a bond release field inspection be performed only when the reclamation work can be <br />properly evaluated by the Division. The Rule further states that there may be seasonal limitations on <br />the timing of the field inspection. In this case, the postponement is necessary because the snow cover <br />will prevent a proper evaluation of the reclamation results. When the exact date of the bond release <br />inspection has been set, you will be notified. <br />If you have questions or need additional information, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />{~~ 1~.. <br />J sep J.
