Long <br />Division D~rec~or <br />This letter is in response to a portion of your Motion for Continuance ("Motion") for the S & H Mine New Permit <br />Application, Platte Sand and Gravel, LLC. Specifically, item #3 of the Motion refers to correspondence with <br />Division Staff regarding the Objectors' expert witness Forrest Leaf and his inability to attend the May 23, 2001 <br />Mined Land Reclamation Board Hearing. In the motion it states that "counsel for Dr. Ptasnik informed Erica <br />Crosby of this conflict on May 18, 2001, but received no response." <br />Erica Crosby informed me of a conversation you had on May 25, 2001 regarding this issue. Apparently, a letter <br />was faxed to the Division dated May 18, 2001 regarding Forrest Leaf and some other questions regarding the S & <br />H Application. This letter was never received by the Division via fax on May 18, 2001. Records obtained from <br />the Division's fax machine show that no documents were faxed to our office from your fax machine (970-356- <br />1111) on May 18, 2001. In addition, no verbal correspondence was exchanged regarding this issue. The <br />statement concerning the Division's non-response to your initial request noted in the Motion is not substantiated <br />by the record. <br />The letter was re-sent by your office on May 25, 2001. All remaining issues of your May 18, 2001 letter will be <br />addressed under separate cover. <br />Tf you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 303-866-3567. <br />Sincer <br />Bruce Humphries _-~ <br />Minerals Program Supervisor <br />cc: Cart Mount; DMG <br />Cheryl Linden; AGO <br />Mark Held; AGO <br />Rocky Hoffschneider; Platte Sand & Gravel LLC <br />Stevan O'Brian; Environment, Inc. <br />Dr. Michael Ptasnik <br />STATE OF COLORADO <br />
