August 1, 2007 <br />Page 3 <br />The degree to which DBMS is reaching in not compiling with State and Federal <br />law is an affront to me. A comment was made to me recently that DRMS and OSM had <br />gone out on a limb to issue the TDN, NOV and Notice to Increase the Bond. I refuse to <br />accept that DRMS and/or OSM believes that enforcing the State and Federal coal laws <br />can be roughly equated to "going out on a limb". To the contrary, those measures should <br />have been taken in 2002. No bonds should ever have been released. Our opposition to <br />previous bond releases should have been addressed and the LAWS enforced. Instead we <br />were told that our judgment had nothing to do with enforcing the coal laws. Pure <br />rubbish! i ! ! <br />I do not authorize DRMMS or OSM to release my name or to copy Basin <br />Resources, Inc./Westmoreland Coal Company with any written response to my <br />complaint. <br />By copy of this letter to Jim Fulton, OSM, filing a citizen's complaint and <br />requesting that OSM issue the mandatory TDN letter to DR-MS. (30 CFR §843.21) The <br />information contained in this letter and the previous letters to which OSM was copied <br />constitute a violation as same meets the criteria for an improvidently issued permit. <br />Further, the Liability Insurance provided to OSM by DRMS on July 26, 2007 is not in the <br />name of the permittee and therefore constitutes another violation. <br />Very truly yours, <br />Tatum <br />Enclosures <br />CC: Jim Fulton (303) 844-1545 <br />-?'d L99t7-LC6-C 6L wn;el uuV d 69:ZO LO I 0 6nV
