Raton Creek was informally restated to active status by the DMG <br />during the same time period due to verbal communications from EFMC regazding proposed coal loading <br />activities at the Santa Fe loadout by Iandmazk Reclamation. The only documentation of the resumption of <br />operations status is found in a DMG Coal Inspection Report dated November 13, 1991 stating that "Raton <br />Creek is now out of temporary cessation". <br />This notice of intent to abandon operations is based on the fact that EFMC is not conducting any <br />coal loading activities at Raton Creek's Santa Fe loadout facility. EFMC will reclaim the Santa Fe loadout <br />in accordance with Ute permit application or transfer the loadout to another operator by process of a <br />technical revision. <br />Additional requirements of this notice of intent to abandon operations pursuant to Rule 4.30.1 (2)(a- <br />d) have been met by EFMC through the process of permit renewal of the Raton Creek Mine. EFMC has <br />provided the DMG with information exceeding the requirements of the above rule by submittal of the Permit <br />Renewal AppGcatioa and its subsequent adequacy question responses, Annual Reclamation Reports (1991, <br />1992) and ongoing environmental monitoring reports as required by the approved pezmit application. <br />EFMC does not anticipate a reuumptioa of opertions at the Raton Creek Mine. If you have any <br />questions regarding this notice, or require additional information, please contact me at your convenience. <br />Sincerely, ~~ ~ ~ ~/ ~ ~ ~ ,.,,, <br />Allen S.
