Dept. of Natural'Resources <br />Dear Mr. Shelton: <br />As a result of the December 1983 inspection, the Office of Surface <br />Mining (OSM) has found a situation at Sundance Coal Company's Animas <br />mine that should be looked into further. <br />It seems that the company has not done all the required work that was <br />approved in the March 29, 1983 "Trailer Park" revision. Conversations <br />with Greg Lewicki, representing Sundance, and Susan Mowry of the Mined <br />Land Reclamation Division (MLRD) lead us to believe that topsoil at <br />the trailer site was not analyzed or salvaged as required. We did not <br />recognize the problem fully until after the inspection and so we did <br />not check to see if the topsoil requirements were actually met. <br />I would like to ask that your staff pay particular attention to this <br />issue on the next scheduled MLRD inspection. Because of the amount of <br />time that has passed since the revision was approved, I believe the <br />problem (if one exists) may be formally addressed now. Please give me <br />the results of your inspection as soon as you can. Feel free to call <br />if you have any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />.-, '/ i <br />'- ~~ <br />.~L- ~~ ~~ <br />~ '~ i% i <br />Robert H.
