Waldron <br />Division of Minerals and Geology <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Re: Request for Board Hearing <br />Dear Mr. Waldron: <br />iiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiii <br />sss <br />RECEIVED <br />AUG 0 9 1995 <br />Division of Minerals t~ Geoloy~ <br />The Division proposes to approve Somerset Mining Company's plan to <br />modify the reclamation plan for the backfilling and grading at the <br />Bear Canyon portal facilities. The revised reclamation plan is <br />presented in technical revision No. 23 to the Mining and <br />Reclamation Permit for the Somerset/Sanborn Creek Mine, Permit No. <br />C-81-022. <br />Bear Coal Company is currently investigating opening a new portal <br />in the Bear Canyon drainage. Somerset Mining Company's approved <br />backfilling and grading plan left a fairly large bench in place <br />along eh Bear Canyon access road. This bench could be utilized by <br />our future coal mining operations. The proposed reclamation plan <br />backfills the bench and only leaves a narrow road in place. <br />Bear Coal Company may be adversely affected by the Division's <br />proposed decision to approve the plan to modify the reclamation <br />plan for the Bear Canyon portal facilities. Please schedule a <br />hearing by the Board in accordance with Rule 2.08.4 (5) (b) (ii). <br />Please call if you have any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />BearCoal Company, Inc. <br />Dani/ el E.
