E. Stover and Associates, on September 13, 2010, the Bureau <br />of Reclamation does not have any unresolved issues or concerns at this time with TR-68 or PR-12. <br />Considering that all activity west of Terror Creek will be a minimum of 500 feet below ground surface, <br />all mining output will not exceed the original permitted amount of five million tons per year, and surface <br />movement of harvested coal and other mining byproducts will not alter any distribution and/or <br />transmission methods upon which Reclamation has already agreed, Reclamation does not have further <br />comment upon the above mentioned proposal unless changes are made to the applications. Furthermore, <br />Reclamation does not object to the proposed re-orientation of the mining plan, as shown by computer <br />model at the meeting with Jim Stover on September 13, 2010. <br />If any additional technical or permit revisions are made in the future, Reclamation would appreciate <br />notification and the opportunity to review and comment. <br />Thank you for your assistance in this matter. If you have any questions concerning our comments, please <br />contact Rutheyi Thompson at 970-248-0617 or by email at mrthompson@usbr.gov. <br />Sincerely, <br />Kathleen Ozga <br />" Lands. and Recreation Group Chief ` <br />cc: Ms. Dixie Luke <br />President <br />Fire Mountain Canal and Reservoir Co. <br />PO Box 414 <br />Paonia, CO 81428 <br />United States Department of the Interior <br />BUREAU OF RECLAMATION <br />Upper Colorado Region <br />Western Colorado Area Office <br />2764 Compass Drive, Suite 106 <br />Grand Junction, CO 81506
