RE: Caroon Junction Mine, C-82-054;
Permit Renewal and Civil Penalties
Dear Ms. PautsKy:
To date the Division has not received a response to our letter of 7/26/89
concerning bond recalculation for the Carbon Junction Mine. It should oe
pointed out that Pueblo Coal does not hold a valid mintnq and reclamation
permit for the Carbon Junction Mine since Lne existing permit expired, The
renewal application was not submitted 180 days Drior to expiration of the
permit, therefore, Carbon Junction did not meet the requirements for
administrative delay.
Since no valid permit exists at the site the Division neetls to proceed witn
resolution of the Carbon Junction renewal application. An opportunity was
provided to allow Caroon Junction to suomit a recalculatetl estimate of the
reclamation Dona and you have not responded. Therefore, we must request that
additional Dond coverage in the amount of 5194,150.00 be submitted to the
Division Dy October 6, 7989. We will still evaluate any revised estimate
suomitted p n or to that Gate.
In addition, it nas been Drought to my attention that payment of a civil
penalty in the amount of $70C,00 for Violation C-89-005 is past due. Tne
Divtslon can not issue a positive renewal decision until tnat penalty is paid.
Failure to resolve this issue will result in the Division recommending denial
of the Caroon Junction permit renewal to the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation
Board. If the renewal is dented, the Board would require reclamation to De gin
immediately witn the potential of bona forfeiture.
