Ncr Mmco 87102 <br />December 2, 1994 <br />Mr. Michael B. Long, Director <br />Division of Minerals and Geology <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />215 Centennial Building <br />1313 Sherman Street <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Dear Mr. Long: <br />RECEIVEp <br />DEC p ~ 1994 <br />Dmision of fdrnerals K Geology <br />Enclosed is a list of material for updating mining and reclamation plans (MRPs) that the <br />Albuquerque Field Office (AFO) has not received. Please have your staff send the <br />necessary information or contact the appropriate permittees. <br />Additionally, during a recent joint inspection, the Office of Surface Mining Redamation and <br />Enforcement (OSM) inspector noted That the operator had not submitted an updated <br />certificate of liability insurance to AFO. A survey of the Colorado MRPs within the AFO <br />library revealed that most MRPs still contain the original certificates, which are now long <br />outdated. A review of the computer tracking of material submitted in 1994 revealed that <br />no Colorado permittees sent AFO a 1994 insurance certificate of liability insurance. <br />Colorado regulation 2.03.9 mandates that each permittee submit a certificate of liability <br />insurance 'for inclusion in the permit application,' which is the MRP, and that the policy be <br />maintained for the 'life of the permit and any renewal thereof.' Therefore, each year's <br />certificate revises the MRP and should be sent to AFO to update our copies. Again, <br />please have your staff forvvard the certificates or contact the permittees. <br />If you have any questions on these requests or the enclosed list, please contact Donna <br />Griffin at 505-766-1486. <br />Sincerely, ~"~/j <br />~'~ i <br />Thomas E. Ehmett, Acting Director <br />L' Albuquerque Field Office <br />Enclosure <br />
