BOX 346 Director <br />Nucla, CO 81424 <br />Dear Ms. Turner: <br />Thank you for the FAX transmittals received by the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and <br />Safety (DRMS) on June 2, 2011, June 3, 2011 and June 4, 2011 regarding your concerns related to <br />hay crop management at the Western Fuels - Colorado LLC, (WFC) New Horizon Mine. I enclose a <br />copy of the FAX documents for our respective records. <br />The DRMS reviewed your allegations in detail. At this time, the crop management and vegetation <br />sampling activities within the New Horizon Mine permit area appear to be occurring as allowed by <br />the applicable legal, regulatory and permit requirements. It also appears that the activities are being <br />appropriately coordinated with the affected landowners. <br />DRMS has no basis upon which to take any further action at this time; however, all mining and <br />reclamation-related activities remain subject to ongoing regulatory review. <br />Thank you again for your FAX transmittal. <br />Sincerely, <br />'cl'Berry <br />Director, Office of Mined Land Reclamation <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />CC: Sandy Brown, DRMS <br />Marcia Talvitie, DRMS <br />Al Klein, OSM <br />Kenneth Walker, OSM <br />Lance Wade, WFC <br />Office of Office of <br />Min-- I and Rarlamatinn Denver .
