Cottony <br />Division Director <br />NaNral Resource Trustee <br />You will recall that National King Coal, LLC, recent proposed exploration that would <br />involve reopening the closed Burnwell Mine near Durango. They proposed to removed <br />the bat doors installed by the Division, inspect the initial thousand feet of the mine and <br />possibly perform some rehabilitation work. <br />We informed the Mine Safety and Health Administration about the proposal in case the <br />agency has any concerns or feels they should be involved in the oversight of the proposed <br />process. <br />Attached is a copy of the response letter from Allyn Davis. In short, the MSHA does feel <br />that that any activity in this mine falls under their purview. <br />If you have any questions or comments, please contact me. <br />Office of Office of Colorado <br />Mined Land Reclamation Active and Inactive Mines Geological Survey <br />
