Dear Party and/or Interested Person:
Harris D. Sherman
Executive Director
Ronald W. Cattany
Division Director
Natural Resource Trustee
As a reminder to the Division's previous notice, dated June 4, 2009, due to the objections to the
application for the Red Mesa Pit the Division has scheduled the application for a Formal Board Hearing
for consideration by the Mined Land Reclamation Board (Board). The hearing has been scheduled for
the August 12-13, 2009 Board meeting, which will occur at 1313 Sherman Street, Room 318, Denver,
Colorado, beginning at 9:00 a.m., or as soon thereafter as the matter can be considered. During the
hearing, the Board will consider the application with objections and may decide to approve, approve with
conditions or deny the application.
Pursuant to Rule 2.7.1, the Division has scheduled a Pre-hearing Conference for July 28, 2009, which
will occur at the Division's office in Durango at 691 County Road 233, Suite A-2, Durango, Colorado,
beginning at 2:30 p.m. The Pre-hearing Conference will be held to describe the Division's review
process, to explain the rights and responsibilities of parties, to discuss and resolve issues to the extent
possible, to describe the Board Hearing processes, to propose a list of issues under the Board's
jurisdiction, to simplify that list, and to identify parties. The Board has appointed Ms. Sandra Brown to
preside as Conference Officer for the Pre-hearing Conference.
On June 15, 2009, the Division issued its recommendation to approve the application for the Red Mesa
Pit. Copy of the Division's recommendation and rationale for its recommendation was provided to all
parties and interested persons. Since that time, one of the two objecting parties, the Southern Ute Indian
Tribe, has stated that their comments have been adequately addressed.
Please contact me at the Division's office in Durango at 691 County Road 233, Suite A-2, Durango,
Colorado 81301, phone [phone], if you have any questions.
