<br />advantage of such cost-effective opportunities to safeguard the climate. Unfortunately, under the <br />current State regulatory schemes, it is not clear who, if indeed anyone will take the lead on this <br />emergent issue. <br />We note that the Governor's Office, as well as the Department of Public Health and <br />Environment and Department of Natural Resources, are aware of this issue and may be exploring <br />options, both to address the immediate issue of the West Elk Mine and the long-term policy <br />options for addressing methane emissions from coal mining operations in Colorado. Our <br />organization, along with many of our allies, clearly has an interest in this issue. In light of this, <br />we would like to meet with your offices to discuss this matter further. We hope to meet with <br />your staff shortly since State regulators may approve the West Elk Mine's expansion - and the <br />venting of methane - as early as mid-February. <br />We greatly appreciate Colorado's leadership on climate change, and look forward to <br />continuing to collaborate with regards to reducing Colorado's climate footprint. Please contact <br />either Jeremy Nichols with Rocky Mountain Clean Air Action, (303-454-3370) or Ted Zukoski <br />at Earthjustice (303-623-9466 x. 622) to follow up with tegards to a meeting. Thank you very <br />much. <br />JerenYy Nichols <br />Director <br />Rocky Mountain Clean Air Action <br />Cc: James B. Martin, Director, Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment <br />Harris Sherman, Director, Colorado Department of Natural Resources <br />Paul Orbuch, Assistant Director, Colorado Department of Natural Resources <br />Ron Cattany, Director, Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining & Safety <br />Heidi Van Genderen, Climate Change Advisor, Office of the Governor <br />Susan Innis, Program Manager, Colorado Carbon Fund, Office of the Governor <br />I X.
