We <br />have determined that the lands covered in the request are fee lands and the mining activities on federal coal, which relied <br />on the site facilities, are now served by the unit train loadout at the Bowie No. 2 Mine facilities. In addition, the <br />reclamation appears to be properly carried out as reported. If the surface owners are satisfied with the work completed, <br />then the BLM has no objection to the DRMS Proposed Decision and Findings of Compliance. <br />If you have any questions please contact me at 970-240-5302. <br />Sincerely, <br />/s/ Desty Dyer <br />Desty Dyer, <br />Uncompahgre Field Office Mining Engineer <br />CC Henry Austin, OSM <br />
