BASlN <br />RESOURCES, ~~~. <br />a subsidiary of ENTECH, Inc. <br />October 15, ].993 <br />Candido and Irene Chacon <br />Route 1 Box 4~7 <br />Trinidad, Colordo 91091 <br />Dear Candido and Irene: <br />14300 Highway 72 <br />Weston, Colorado 81091 <br />(719)868-2761 <br />FAX (719) 868-2275 <br />J~Ia~~S aS <br />1 ~3 J~~, ~ -fie Ce~~- <br />I V/ /"• <br />On .7uly 7, 1999, Wyoming Fuel Company (WFC) notified you that it <br />intended to commence underground coal mining operations beneath your <br />property. Notice was provided at tha*. time pursuant to requirements <br />contained in a mining permit from the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation <br />Division (Division). Regulations of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation <br />Board, specifically, Section 4.?0.?, requires that such notice be given <br />at least six moo*_hs prior to commencement of mining under your property. <br />Basin .Resources, Inc. (Basin) is *_he successor to WFC, and currenr-ly <br />operates the Go.Lden Eagle !line. Recently, the Division issued Basin an <br />administrative notice of violation, based on the fact that the original <br />notice issued by WFC failed to include certain s*_atements required by the <br />applicable regulations. The Division ordered Basin to send this <br />additional notification to you at this time. The Division ordered Basin <br />to notify you of the dares that mining would occur that could cause <br />subsidence of the surface, and of what measures will be taken t~ prevent <br />or control adverse surface effects. <br />The mining operations have already occurred under your property. In <br />the area of your pzoaerty, Basin's mining operations utilize the longwall <br />mining technique, which may result in what is called "planned subsidence" <br />in the laws and regulations. Typically, any such subsidence or-curs <br />relatively quickly, and as a result causes less disturbance of the <br />surface. However, effects may take longer to express themselves. To the <br />extent that subsidence may occur, it may take place over a substanr.ial <br />period of time. <br />If you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />B A~//S~ I NR~~EJQ'S~O,U,~R~Cc.E~S ,-I N C . <br />/ 1~-"-~ / "" / - <br />Ron Thompson <br />Senior Mine Engineer <br />
