Notice'of Proposed Decision <br />The Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety has issued a proposed decision to Approve <br />Bond Release Application No. 2 (SL-2) for the Grassy Gap No 1 Mine, Permit No. C-1981-039. The <br />mine was operated by Rockcastle Coal Company under the provisions of the Colorado Surface Coal <br />Mining Reclamation Act of 1979. The mining and reclamation permit expired April 23, 1990, and the- <br />Mined Land Reclamation Board recommended that renewal of the Grassy Gap No. 1 Mine permit be <br />denied. The permit was revoked and the bond was forfeited by the Division. Final reclamation activities <br />were completed under direction of the Division. All reclamation bond monies were utilized for <br />reclamation and maintenance of the site. All of the forfeited reclamation bond has been expended. With <br />approval of this bond release application (SL2), the Division shall terminate its jurisdiction on the Grassy <br />Gap No. 1 Mine site. The affected area is located in Routt County, approximately 10 miles south of <br />Hayden, Colorado. <br />Copies of the proposed decision are available for review at the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining <br />and Safety office, 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, Colorado 80203, and at the office of the <br />Routt County Clerk & Recorder. <br />Any person who has an interest which is or may be adversely affected may request an adjudicatory <br />hearing regarding this proposed decision. Requests for a hearing must be made in writing within thirty <br />(30) days of the first publication of this notice, and shall state with reasonable specificity the reasons for <br />the request and objections to the proposed decision.
