Brown <br />Senior Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver CO 80203 <br />Ms. Brown <br />RECD <br />AUG 16 4UIU <br />iun ()t Pe + <br />WnUg ad 8dW <br />Subject: Western Fuels-Colorado, LLC-Permit Revision 6 <br />I am writing this letter in support of approval of PR06. My wife and I have <br />lived in Nucla all of our lives and we have worked at the New Horizon <br />Mine for 17 years. We are dependent on the income from our employment <br />at the New Horizon mine. We have had the opportunity to witness firsthand <br />the reclamation of property they have mined. The farmland has been <br />returned to better than the original in most cases. In our honest opinion, <br />they have done an extremely good job at the reclamation. <br />Our community depends on the continued operation of the New Horizon <br />Mine. The jobs that have been generated in the past 17 years have provided <br />economic stability to a struggling area. I hope that you will strongly <br />consider the approval of PR06, as it will greatly help our community to <br />prosper. <br />Thank you for your time, <br />Sincerely, <br />Freddie and Ailene Smith <br />
