Lamm <br />Governor <br />June 21, 1985 <br />Mr. William Bear <br />Bear Coal Company <br />Somerset, Colorado 81434 <br />RE: Mid-Term Review of Bear Mine, Permit No. C-033-81 <br />Dear Mr. Bear: <br />Attached is the Division's Mid-Term Review and Decision to require revisions <br />to the Bear Mine, Permit Na. C-033-81. The review was in fulfillment of Rules <br />2.08.3, 2.06.2(9), 2.06.3(4), 2.06.5(3), 2.06.7(5), and 3.02.2(4). <br />The mid-term review primarily consisted of reviewing the permit application, <br />stipulation responses, revisions, and any supplemental information, as well as <br />information from field inspections and past inspection reports. The main <br />purpose of the review was to identify any areas of the permit application that <br />will need to be revised or modified to ensure compliance and reflect the <br />~urrent status of the mine. <br />The attached document contains our mid-term review, a rationale for requiring <br />any revisions to the application, timetables for submitting responses, a <br />summary of the status of stipulations, and the results of our performance bond <br />review. <br />Revisions were found to be needed under the categories of Format and <br />Supplemental Information, Other Licenses and Permits, Operations Plan, Mine <br />Facilities, Hydrologic Balance, Reclamation Plan, Backfilling and Grading, <br />Revegetation, Subsidence, Maps, Roads, and Post-mining Land Use. <br />The Division is requesting that Bear Coal Company submit appropriate responses <br />to most of the concerns raised in this letter by July 31, 1985. We recommend <br />that all responses be submitted in one package using a format that allows you <br />to incorporate the responses directly into the application. <br />Please review the document to identify any concerns with either content or <br />time frames. We may hold a meeting to discuss any questions or concerns you <br />may hav?, if you wish. If you feel an item does not need to be revised or if <br />you feel an item will require more time, please let me know. <br />Sincerely, <br />~71,~~~~ ~11.~~ <br />Susan Mowry <br />Reclamation Specialis <br />sM/s,iv RECEIVED JUL 0 1 1°85 <br />-•- -- <br />
