Deaz Mr. Eilts: Facsimile (303) 879-8162 It has been brought to my attention by Bryan Archer, manager of Sun Coal, that on August 3, 1994, you interfered with and prevented the performance of certain required reclamation work by Randy Booco, a contractor to Sun Coal. You must understand that your actions constitute a violation of paragraph 4 of the November 1, 1993 Stipulation of Judgment and Decree, Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release ("the Decree") and pazagraph 4 of the July 14, 1988 Settlement Agreement and Release. Those provisions guazantee to Sun Coal that it shall have "full and open access into, over and through the Leased Premises following any such temrination [of the Lease] for the purposes of perfomilng all required inspection and maintenance on the reclamation work." Further, your actions are in violation of paragraph 16(b) of the Decree which prohibits you from interfering in any way with Sun Coal's performance of reclamation work on the property. Your violation of the Decree will subject you to the contempt powers of Lhe Dist*ICt Court. On August 1, 1994, Susan Burgmaier, an Inspector for the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology ("Division"), performed a complete inspection of the Meadows No. 1 Mine and ordered that, as part of Sun Coal's required reclamation plan, the coal fines in the tipple azea be removed. As you are aware, Sun Coal still has posted with the Division a lazge reclamation bond. Your unlawful actions in preventing Mr. Booco from removing the coal fines have interfered with the performance of activities ordered by the Division, which must be accomplished prior to Sun Coal's application for release of the bond.
