ROOM 104 <br />April 13, 1999 TRINIDAD, COLORADO 81082 <br />RECE1~.~r=r <br />APR 1 41994 <br />Mr. Floyd Chavez <br />11897 Highway 12 <br />Weston, CO 81091 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Chavez: <br />Thank you for coming into our office on Monday, April 11th <br />informing us that the Basin Resources people have not <br />contacted you or anyone else who signed the petition that <br />you delivered to this office regarding the coal dust problem <br />along Highway 12, as they promised they would do. <br />I know and understand your frustrations because this problem <br />has existed for more than a year and a half and is certainly <br />not caused by one truck spilling coal on the highway, <br />neither is it caused by the Colorado Highway Department <br />sanding during snow storms because the problem only exists <br />between the two mines where coal is hauled daily. <br />Unfortunately, my hands are completely tied in this matter. <br />All I can suggest and recommend to you and the other people <br />who signed the petition is to meet with the Board of County <br />Commissioners and tell your side of the problem as they have <br />already met with the mine officials and heard their side. <br />Also I suggest you contact the Colorado Department of <br />Health, Millie Turner. Environmental Protection Specialist <br />at (303) 692-2000 and Division of Minerals and Geology, <br />Daniel Hernandez (303) 868-3567. Perhaps one of the above <br />parties can help you get some relief from this problem as <br />there is nothing I can accomplish. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~A.~~ <br />Michael A.
