Your letter identified a number <br />of concerns with conditions at the Meadows #1 Mine, the land of which is partially owned by <br />yourself. Many of your concerns have been addressed previously, and so the responses provided <br />below remain unchanged from previous Division correspondence. Following are our responses <br />to the concerns outlined in your document entitled "Reclamation Proposal for Coal View Ghost <br />Ranch". <br />Water Concerns <br />1. You mentioned that the pond that was near the Sun Coal office must be restored. The <br />Division has no record of that pond. Your letter also mentioned a number of tasks which <br />must be completed in the southern portion (facilities area) of the permit area. The <br />Division acknowledges, and has discussed with Sun Coal Company, that the currently <br />approved reclamation plan for that area is less than explicit. The approved plan does not <br />include details of building demolition or grading plans. The Division has asked Sun Coal <br />Company to revise the reclamation plan, and to consult with you during this process. To <br />date, both Sun Coal Company and the Division have asked you for a detailed list of what <br />structures at the site are to be retained for your use, what should be removed, etc. We <br />have yet to receive a response from you. The Division has requested that Sun Coal <br />Company revise the reclamation plan so that a final reclamation plan for this area is <br />approved and completed this season. Currently, the only structures that would be <br />retained after reclamation would be the office trailer, shop building, Yampa River bridge, <br />truck scales and scale house, coal recovery tunnel, and guard shack. All other structures <br />would be removed. If other structures are to be retained, Sun Coal Company must <br />present to the Division a written request for same from you. [f you have comments <br />regarding reclamation of this area, you should direct them to Sun Coal Company so [hat <br />they will be considered in the final reclamation plan. <br />
