Dap t. of P:atural Rcrources <br />Ms. Carol Russell <br />Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Division <br />1313 Sherman Street H423 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Dear Carol: <br />As a result of the continuing difficulties in the coal market, Dorchester <br />has been forced to reduce its production levels at the Dorchester N1 Mine. <br />We plan to accomplish this production decrease by a temporary deactivation <br />of three of our four continuous miner sections. Any or all of these <br />sections may be reactivated at any time as the market improves. We do not <br />believe, at this time, t;3at the production slow down will affect any of <br />the terms of our existing permit. However, the current market conditions <br />are a new experience for all of us, and as things come up which might require <br />modification of our permit, we will do our best to notify you. We hope <br />that the Division can be flexible in this regard as well. <br />Thank you. <br />Sincerely, <br />Deart-K.
