Dan Mathews will replace Mike Boulay as the lead specialist for the Seneca II Mine and the Yoast Mine. He will also continue to be the lead at the Seneca II-W Mine. Mike Boulay will continue to be involved with the hydrology issues and will work with Dan to ensure a smooth transition. For all future submittals please address correspondence to Dan Mathews and use the procedures which are already set up for our Grand Junction office as summarized below. All documents received or issued by the Division will be electronically imaged and digitally filed.

All document imaging will be done at the Denver office.
