L«hhead <br />ERQCUIIVe DIfeC10r <br />Michael 0. Long <br />Dwrsion Director <br />RE: Inspection at the New Horizon Mine for Blasting Violations <br />Dear Mr. Belden: <br />The Division has received your letter stating that you believe the <br />crack between the drywall sheets in your living room wall was a <br />direct result of the blasting from the New Horizon Mine. The <br />Division has scheduled an inspection at the mine site to review the <br />blasting records to determine if any blasting violations have <br />occurred which could result in the damages to your home. The <br />inspection is schedule to be held at the mine office on February <br />21, 1995, at 10:00 AM and you are invited to attend. <br />The mine is governed by the Regulations of the Colorado Mined Land <br />Reclamation Board for Coal Mining. The portions of the regulations <br />which apply to blasting were developed from the applicable Bureau <br />of Mines Regulations. These regulations have determined specific <br />standards concerning blasting which the mine must adhere to. The <br />blasting records and associated seismographic measurements will be <br />inspected to determine if any deviations from these standards have <br />occurred. <br />After the inspection, I would like to visit your home to talk with <br />you and to observe the wall separation as well. If you have any <br />questions, please give me a call. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~~~1. <br />Harry B. Ranney / <br />Environmental otection Specialist <br />STATE OF COLORADO <br />
