. ~ charge of 50.25 per page. Copy requests to be mailed must be accompanied by the name <br />address and phone number of the person requesting the copies. Postage charges will also be <br />invoiced. Copying requests that are not pre-paid will not be sent to a Post Office Box. <br />The Durango Field Office of DMG was created to provide west slope residents with a more <br />convenient location to contact DMG and review the public files. The Durango Office is open <br />8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday for public to review files and request copies. <br />Due to limited staff resources at the Durango Office, large volume requests for copying should <br />be directed to the Denver Office of DMG. <br />• Regarding your request for a copy of the certified mail that DMG sent to Mr. Smith on June <br />22, 2000; DMG did not send any correspondence to Mr. Smith by certified mail on June 22, <br />2000. It is assumed that you are referring to the certified mail that Mr. Scott Smith signed for <br />on June 22, 2000. That certified mail only included the May 25, 2000 DMG inspection report <br />for the Pathfinder Pit, a copy of which you acknowledged receiving in the first sentence of <br />your July 13, 2000 request for documents. <br />Response to your July 26, 2000 Request for Deadline Date and Process for Submittal of Written <br />Comments for a Public Hearing <br />• The meeting to be held on August 23 - 24, 2000 regarding the Pathfinder Pit, is not a <br />"Technical Revision meeting". The Board will hold their monthly meeting for August on those <br />dates. During that meeting, a Formal Public Hearing will be held to request Board <br />consideration of a possible violation, cease and desist order, corrective actions and civil <br />penalties for Pathfinder's failure to secure DMG approval of a revision to the Pathfinder Pit <br />permit, addressing incorporation of an engineering demonstration of stability for the fill and <br />access road area associated with the penstock repairs. <br />• Comments regarding this matter may be presented to the Board in person at the meeting, or <br />written comments can be submitted for distribution to the Board. Written comments should <br />be sent to DMG no later than August 16, 2000 with a request that they be distributed to the <br />Board, for that hearing. The request must specify what operation, permit number, and subject <br />matter they pertain to. <br />• The technical revision application submitted by Pathfinder in June, did not adequately address <br />stability of the access road and fill. The application was subsequently withdrawn by <br />Pathfinder. <br />If you need additional information, please contact me at the Division of Minerals and Geology, <br />Durango Field Office, 701 Camino Del Rio, Room 125, Durango, Colorado 81301, telephone no. <br />970-247-5062. <br />Sincerely, <br />Steve S.
