We believe that the technical revision process is appropriate to <br />address the necessary permitting, because the situation has the potential to significantly impact <br />the reclamation plan for the West Elk Mine. In addition, it is appropriate to provide adequate <br />public notice regazding the ongoing mitigation efforts. The information provided with the <br />technical revision should document the slide as defined to date, all mitigation methods employed <br />thus far, and planned for the future. Please also address any potential, or actual changes to the <br />approved reclamation plan for the site, and any associated changes to the existing reclamation <br />bond amount. <br />We understand that the plans may still be evolving, and that you will need some time to develop <br />the application package. Please attempt to submit the technical revision by June 1, 1998. Your <br />cooperation and efforts aze appreciated. Please feel free to call with any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />i-- <br />l <br />~~ <br />vid erry <br />~_.~ <br />Senior Environmental Protection Specialist <br />c: McCannon <br />Pendelton / <br />Boulay ,// <br />
