Notice of the proposed decision will be published in the Steamboat <br />Pilot as soon as possible. The first publication will initiate the ten (10) day public comment period for the <br />Division's decision. <br />Documentation must be submitted to the Division demonstrating that a copy of the approved revision <br />application was sent to the Office of Surface Mining and the Bureau of Land Management. The material <br />should be sent within 15 days of final approval. <br />As indicated in the small area exemption plan, the silt fencing and/or straw wattles will be installed <br />along the ridgeline SAE area in series and will be field fit. The sediment filtration devices must be <br />installed so as -to ensure that any runoff from the SAE area passes through one or more of the <br />sedimentation control devices. This Technical Revision must not be implemented until this proposed <br />decision becomes final and until any required increase in bond is submitted to and approved by the <br />Division. <br />If you have any questions, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />7n7Zt,? ?- <br />Daniel T.
