Brown <br />Senior Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 RE-COW <br />Subject: Western Fuel-Colorado, LLC - Permit Revision 6 AUG 14 2010 <br />pivwne,n ai Kocl op. <br />Ms. Brown Mining ?a¢ly <br />I have been in the coal mining business for 37 years. The bulk of my time was spent in <br />Wyoming where I was involved with mining -from permitting to bond release. I have <br />seen all types of reclamation from good to bad. I have been at New Horizon Mine for <br />almost 10 years and I have to say that the reclamation here is as good as anywhere and <br />better than most. <br />The land that we have mined and returned to production since I have been here is more <br />productive than it was before. I am very confident that the Morgan property will be more <br />of the same if we are allowed to continue mining. <br />Since mining is my livelihood, it behooves me to insure that it is done professionally and <br />with the utmost respect for the land and the landowners. If the job is done poorly, there <br />will no longer be jobs. <br />For these reasons, I encourage you to approve PR06 to allow us to proceed with the <br />mining and the ultimate return of the land to better condition than we found it. <br />Sincere , <br />Richard Wolne
