Cottony <br />Division Director <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />RE: Logan Wash, Permit No. M-1977-424, November 2, 2005 Letter Requesting Transfer of Properties '~ <br />Dear Mr. Woolley: <br />The Division of Minerals and Geology (DMG) received your November 2, 2005 letter requesting that <br />authority over reclamation requirements for portions of the mine benches and access road to the Logan Wash <br />mine be transferred from DMG to The Colorado Oil and Gas Commission (COGCC). This process would <br />need to be addressed as a warranty release request as specified in Rule 4.17 of the Mineral Rules and <br />Regulations of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board. <br />The November 2, 2005 request cannot be processed as a release request because it was not submitted by the <br />permit holder, nor was it submitted in accordance with the requirements of Rule 4.17. However, the <br />permittee, Occidental Oil Shale Ina (OOSI) is currently in the process of requesting release of portions of <br />the Logan Wash Permit area. Release of the portions identified in your request can be included in the current <br />OOSI request. The documentation provided in your letter will help support this process, though additional <br />information maybe required. DMG and OOSI have discussed this release/transfer and are expecting to <br />complete the process in the near future. <br />Please be aware that, until this area is removed from Permit M-1977-424, activities other than those <br />described in Permit No. M-1977-424 may not occur on this site without first contacting DMG to determine if <br />revisions to the permit are required. <br />If you need additional information, please contact me at the Division of Minerals and Geology, Grand <br />Junction Field Office, 101 South Third Street, Room 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, telephone no. <br />970-243-6368. <br />Sincerely, <br />-'<'l <br />Steve S.
