MANAGEMENT <br />RECEIVED <br />FEB 1 ~ 2008 <br />Division of Reclamation, <br />Mining and Safety <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. February 14, 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 />sent its adequacy review to BRL by its letter dated January 11, 2008. BRL responded <br />to the DRMS' adequacy review by letter dated February 4, 2008. The DRMS informed <br />BRL that all of the adequacy review information has been submitted and accepted. <br />The DRMS needs additional time to finish the adequacy review, prepare a proposed <br />decision, publish and go through the public comment period. <br />Since the abatement deadline is only three days away and for the reasons explained <br />above, please extend the abatement deadline for the referenced NOV until Monday, <br />March 3, 2008. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~ -- <br />J.
