/"~ <br />JAN-12-95 THU 19:02 <br /> <br />November 8, 1994 <br />Page 2 <br />r 1 <br />i . <br />P. 03. <br />4 Our letter of November 30, 1994, incorporates several <br />different complaints. Similar issues were addressed at a <br />December 15, 1993, hearing before the Colorado Land <br />Reclamation Board. I am enclosing for your review a copy of <br />"Request for Party Status and Exhibits" presented at this <br />hearing on behalf of Raton west - Baldwin Ltd. Development. <br />While much of this information in this package does not <br />apply to our complaints, some of it is relevant. Please <br />review the July 26, 1993, letter to Robert Krassa from <br />ilnittei narl.anucs~. t,I i~io icy-Lbt Jahial neiuanaet states •'we <br />' ~ agree that longwall mining and retreat room and pillar <br />mining can cause subsidence." The map in this package <br />incorporates the location of our home and property. i have <br />marked our home site: in red. our fine old ( 60 plus years) <br />adobe home is now showing subsidence and much damage whereby <br />it had no such problem. before the mine came under our <br />property. <br />i <br />The mine continues to evade their responsibilities and <br />obligations to abide by the law.

Therefore, Z <br />recommend that you concur with the staff determination that <br />a Pattern of Violations exists at this mine." <br />The mine did not secure a Las Animas County building <br />permit for the exhaust shaft on our property until 6 - 12 <br />months after-the 'Shstallation was installed and until the <br />mine vas threatened 'by the Las Animas County Planner's <br />Office. While I understand that this violation of the law <br />is not under .the jurisdiction of the Division, it does <br />display the minus basic total disregard for the law and the <br />rules. <br />What assurance do we have that the information the <br />mine provided us with regard. to the distance from our home <br />to the ^First Mine^ is correct: We were first told the <br />mine was 750 feet from our home, then later advised they <br />were 200 to 300 plus feet from our home. We know that the <br /> <br />
