Sherman <br />Executive Director <br />Ronald W. Cottony <br />Division Director <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />Twentymile Coal Company has provided a copy of the CDRMS Annual Reclamation Report Form for <br />Calendar year 2007. The Division identified one probable error on this form. <br />1. The number of acres in long-term mining or reclamation facilities should not exceed the <br />total number of cumulative disturbed acreage. TCC reports total cumulative disturbed <br />acres as 498.1, whereas the reported acreage in long-term mining or reclamation facilities <br />as 498.4 acres. Please correct these figures so that they are in agreement. <br />The Division is in the process of rectifying the acres reported in the DRMS database with the acres <br />reported by the operator. The Division's database indicates that TCC is approved the disturb 517.81 <br />acres. TCC reports a total of 498.1 disturbed acres. Has TCC received approval to disturb 19.71 acres <br />more than they have actually disturbed? TCC's attachment of disturbance acreage by area is very helpful <br />(page 4 of 2007 ARR) is very helpful in resolving this difference. If TCC is aware of unreported <br />disturbance or acreage approved for disturbance but not yet disturbed, please provide these values to the <br />Division. <br />Please find a copy of the Division's review of TCC 2007 Annual Reclamation Report included with this <br />letter. <br />Sincerely, <br />Janet Binns <br />Environmenta Protectio <br />X303) 866-4 4 <br />C://jhb/C82056/Reports/ARR/2007 ARR memo.doc <br />Office of Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Denver Grand Junction Durango Active and Inactive Mines <br />
