POWDERHORN <br />COAL COMPANY <br />October 1, 1991 <br />Ms. Susan Morrison <br />Physical Scientist <br />Colorado Mined Land Reclamation <br />1313 Sherman Street <br />Denver, CO 80203-2273 <br />RE: North Fan Seals, File C-81-041 <br />Dear Ms. Morrison: <br />iii iiiiiiiinii iiii <br />999 <br />P.O. Box 1430 <br />Palisade, Colorado 81526 <br />X303) 4647951 <br />Far (303) 46d~71B1 <br />C r i. ~ i " <br />rid, .. <br />OAT ~ ? 151 <br />Alinsn Lang <br />Reclamatior, Di1.~isi~,~ <br />In response to your call this morning, information is being <br />submitted to back up the fact that mining was completed in the <br />north end of the mine in May, 1990, and seals were installed soon <br />thereafter. <br />The Powderhorn "Land Royalty" form notes production from 4 unit <br />properties during the month. Unit property numbers ...21 and <br />...22 refer to properties in sections 34 and 35 which was the <br />last area mined in the north end of the mine. The last "Preshift <br />- Mine Examiner's Report" in the book for that section shows <br />examining the section on May 8, 1990. The north fan was shut off <br />on May 14, 1990, as indicated by the "Daily and Monthly <br />Examination of Ventilation Equipment". Although I don't have <br />paper work on the seal installation date, I know the schedule <br />called for starting the seal the day the fan was shut off and <br />completing it within 2 days. <br />There has been some work done on the site in preparation for <br />reclamation. Thi= su*~~^.:er th.: far. housing ~:as reiacve3 and hauled <br />off as scrap. The area was flown on July 23, 1991, and a current <br />topographic map was made to allow preparation of bid packages for <br />all or part of the dirt work. It has been no secret that we <br />anticipate partially filling the north decline this fall or <br />winter to avoid creating a lake as the mine fills. <br />Let me know if you need any additional information. <br />Sincerely, <br />~..0 ~j. <br />Lvar y M.
