We are willing to <br />consider the possible disposal of the coal refuse from the loadout and may be able to use the <br />coal at our power plant as a fuel. <br />In order to determine if the coal refuse may be disposed of at the Trinidad Landfill, we will <br />require additional testing beyond the analytical procedures recommended by Ron Forlina of <br />the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. We would also require testing <br />for creosote and the acid generation potential of the coal refuse. Following the submittal of <br />the test results, we will make a determination as to whether we will accept the material for <br />disposal at the landfill. <br />We have also discussed the possibility of using the coal at our power plant as a fuel. You <br />may wish to speak with David Brunelli, Power and Light Superintendent, about this as a <br />possible use for the material. Mr. Brunelli has mentioned that he would require a proximate <br />analysis and free swelling index on the material prior to making any determination on its <br />possible use. <br />If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. <br />Rlesp~ectfully yours, <br />f f~~l ~ /~ <br />~S.
