Reclamation. Mining and Safety (DBMS) on August 8, 2007_ The initial TDN response
deadline was August 20, 2007, because the tenth day from ra ceipt of the TDN was
Saturday August 18, 2007. On August 20, 2007, the DRMS requested an cxctension of the
TDN response deadline to August 24, 2007_ The QSM granted the requested extension on
August 20, 2007. The current TDN response deadline is August 24, 2007.
The TDN indicates that as a result of"Citizen Infonzzatian'. QSM has reason to believe
that Basin Resources, Inc. is in violation oftwo listed Colorado rules. The TDN states the
nature of the alleged violations as follows:
Al[¢ged Violation Nurmb¢r, 1 - '-The pernzittee does not have a valid DBMS --ritten
approval for the Colorado Permit C-81-013". The TDN lists Colorado Rule 2_08.6 as
allegedly violated-
AH¢ged Violation Number 2 - "The pcrrr7ittee for Colorado Permit C-81-013 has
failed to provide a valid public liability insurance certificate The TDN lists Colorado
Rule 2.03.9 as allegedly violated_
The TDN is not specific as to which aspects of the listed rules are alleged to be violated.
nor did the TDN include the "Citizen 1nfc)r-aticon- that apparently farms the basis for the
'TDN_ Rule 2.08.6 refers to --Transfer, Assignment or Sale of P,:rrnit Rights'-. Rules 2.03.9
refers to-Personal tnjury and Property Damage Insurance Information".
The DBMS is in receipt of separate and apparently related complaint letters dated July
I9, 20, 23, and July 26_ 2007. The DKMS previously responded to these lerters, with a
copy to C3,SM, on July 26, 2007.
