Sherman <br />Executive Director <br />Ronald W. Cattany <br />Division Director <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />We have received your letter requesting clarification receding the Hard Rock <br />Reclamation Awards You indicate that you feel your nomination was not considered by <br />the Mined Land Reclamation Board which is not the case. At the December monthly <br />Board Meeting, Sandra Brown presented three nominations for the Hard Rock <br />Reclamation Awards, including the Mount Royale reclamation project at the Slide Mine. <br />The nominations were extensively discussed, and ultimately the Board voted on the other <br />two nominations to receive the Award and Honorable Mention. The Board did take into <br />consideration the fact that the reclamation at the Slide Mine was conducted under a <br />voluntary cleanup plan overseen by the Colorado Department of Health. The other two <br />2007 nominees were not party to a VCUP. <br />Each year the Board votes on the nominations submitted to us. Our current criteria allow <br />us to consider all nominations presented, and we want to retain that flexibility. We <br />appreciate your interest in the awards program and your continued commitment to <br />excellent reclamation. <br />Sincer y, <br />Harry Ja ernick <br />Chairman, Mined Land Reclamation Board <br />Ronald W.
