Box 591 <br />Somerset, CO 81439 <br />Dear Wendell: <br />NOV 12 t99~ <br />:.,.~mua u~ rFmio~aU a ueoluBY <br />This letter acknowledges and accepts the 1996 coal exploration work done in <br />relation to the following drill holes: GG, Q, R-ALT, EE, EE Twin, II, S, <br />M-ALT, AA, O, BB, CC, Y, Z, E and A. Road work related to all these locations <br />is accepted as having complied with the appropriate conditions of approval. <br />Per clause F. 1, no:<ious weeds must be controlled on disturbed areas for a <br />period of one year after the liscense/permit is closed. <br />We appreciate the cooperative work which was done on the Dry Fork of Minnesota <br />Creek and Apache Rocks roads in the form of culvert ins[allations, your <br />furnishing of the 300 tons of gravel which our road crew spread and the work <br />performed on the Deep Creek crossing. These roads should drain and dry up much <br />quicker now and thereby provide better access for Mountain Coal Company, the <br />Forest Service and the public. Zn addition, a reduction in sediment movement <br />should result. <br />Wendell, thanks to you and Kim and all others at Mountain Coal who were <br />involved in this summers efforts, for a job well done. Please extend our <br />thanks to Chuck and Max and the other employees of Chesnik Construction for <br />their hard work and commitment to getting the job done as we all wanted _t <br />done and for helping to ma F:e rhi~ a s=_fe and ~_,t~cessf.,~l operation. <br />we look forward to a continued successful working relationship with you and <br />Mountain Coal Company. <br />Sincerely, <br />IIII <br />Ray L.
