Cattany <br />Division Director <br /> Natural Resource Trustee <br />Re: Twin Pines Coal Mine, #C-83-058 <br />Dear Mr. Boleski: <br />The Division of Minerals and Geology (Division) will be sampling the revegetated areas again this <br />summer in late June at the Twin Pines coal mining site located in Fremont County, Colorado. This <br />information will be used to make a quantitative determination of the success of the revegetation efforts <br />on the reclaimed area and will also be used to support any subsequent Division written findings <br />regarding our termination of jurisdiction at the site. <br />As you may recall, you indicated that you would leave the decision to retain the sediment ponds to the <br />lessee, Lawrence and Anita Farro. They have indicated verbally that they would like the sediment <br />ponds to remain to provide water retention for livestock and wildlife water. One pond is located on the <br />mine bench at the portal site and one pond is located at the coal sales yard. <br />For our records, could you please sign below and return a copy of this letter to the above address <br />regarding your desire to retain the two sediment ponds at the site. <br />AS THE LANDOWNER OF THE RECLAIMED AREAS AT THE TWIN PINES MINE SITE, <br />PERMIT # C-83-058 I REQUEST THAT THE SEDIMENT POND AT THE COAL SALES YARD <br />AND THE SEDIMENT POND AT THE MINE PORTAL AREA BE RETAINED AS PERMANENT <br />IMPOUNDMENTS FOR LIVESTOCK AND WILDLIFE USEAGE. <br />SIGNED <br />DATE <br />If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at your convenience. My direct number is 303- <br />866-4931. You can also contact me by email at mailto:kent.jzorham(2state.co.us if you have any <br />questions.
