<br />As noted above, the decision date for AM-01 is July 5, 2010. On July 5, 2010, the review period for the

<br />As previously noticed, the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety has reason to believe a violation
<br />exists regarding the re-opening and construction of the Chief Portal and has scheduled the matter for
<br />consideration by the Board on July 12, 2010.
<br />Please contact me at the Division's office in Durango at 691 County Road 233, Suite A-2, Durango,
