MANAGEMENT <br />The referenced notice of violation was written for failure to confine surface coal mining <br />and reclamation operations to lands within the permit area. The final abatement to <br />deadline was extended to 5 p.m. January 18, 2008. <br />One of the abatement steps is to transport the excess rock from the Paonia water <br />pollution control facility to the Bowie #1 Mine as approved in MR-83 or obtain Division <br />approval through a technical revision to keep the excess rock where it is. By letter <br />dated December 5, 2007, BRL submitted a technical revision application (TR-51) to the <br />DRMS to obtain approval to keep the excess rock at the Paonia water pollution control <br />facility. DRMS deemed TR-51 complete by its letter dated December 20, 2007. DRMS <br />is currently reviewing the technical revision application. <br />Since the abatement deadline is only two days away and for the reasons explained <br />above, please extend the abatement deadline for the referenced NOV until February <br />18, 2008. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~ <br />J. toyer, P.E. <br />Consulting Engineer <br />cc: Wm.
