/~ Kennecctt <br />/~ ~r Energy <br />• Coloaryo Coat Comparu~ L.P. cAL°`'~~ <br />FOR: BLASTING FILE <br />CDIVIG RULE 4.08.2 - PREBLASTING SURVEYS <br />May 28, 1997 <br />Today I talked to Mr. Mitch Rollings of the Denver, OSMRE office regazding their <br />interpretation of OSMRE Rule 816.62(a) pertaining to preblasting surveys and whether the Rule <br />applies to property owned by Colowyo. Their rule is virtually identical to the CDMG Rule <br />4.08.2(1) and his interpretation should provide considerable guidance. <br />Mitch interprets the Rule stating that the Operator has to notify "all residents 92 owners of <br />dwellings or other structures located within 1/2 mile of the permit area how to request a <br />preblasting survey" to mean that the Operator has the option of contacting either the resident Q„r <br />the owner of a structure regazding a preblast survey. By using "or" instead of "and" the Rule <br />provides flexibility and does not require that "residents" of dwellings or structures be notified. <br />• To satisfy this Rule Colowyo, being the owner of much of the property adjacent to the <br />Permit azea, has only to simply continue stating that it does not wish to perform such a preblast <br />survey on it's own property. <br />Therefore, as has been the case since mine inception in 1977, Colowyo does not wish to <br />perform pre-blast surveys on its own property. <br />Mitch will follow-up our conversation regazding this Rule interpretation in writing. <br />IM=O <br />im Kiger <br />xc: S.
