Box 25486 <br /> Denver Federal Center <br /> Denver, CO 80225 <br /> RE: WINDY GAP PROCESS, TERMINATION OF FEDERAL PERMIT CO-015 <br /> Dear Sir: <br /> In accordance with instructions from the Office of Surface <br /> Mining, enclosed is Colowyo Coal Company' s (Colowyo) check in the amount of <br /> $1,270.00 for the "Windy Gap" appropriation for the conservation fund to <br /> study and protect endangered fish species. <br /> We regret that the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) chose <br /> to determine that Colowyo's expenditures of approximately $75 ,000.00 to <br /> design and construct back water areas on the Yampa River for squawfish <br /> enhancement was not sufficient. <br /> Further, since this payment is not required by law or regulation, <br /> Colowyo' s payment is being made under protest. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Richard G. Atkinson <br /> Director of Lands and <br /> Environmental Affairs <br /> RGA/kh <br /> Enclosure <br /> cc: L. B. Gray <br /> R. Singh, OSMRE, Denver <br /> G.
