From: Marcia Talvitic 1 <br />Loretta E. Piheda <br />Director <br />Subject: New Horizon North Mine - Application No. C-2010-089 <br />Adequacy Response Received — Request for Assistance <br />The Division previously conducted a Preliminary Adequacy Review of the New Horizon North <br />application. Our PAR was issued in three parts: Part I on 23 Dec 2010; Part 2 on 5 Jan 2011; <br />and Part 3 on 18 Feb 2011. <br />The applicant, Western Fuels — Colorado, LLC (WFQ submitted an adequacy response to the <br />Division on 2 June 2011. This response consists of letter which enumerates each of the <br />Division's adequacy items and describes WFC's response. The response package also includes a <br />set of four binders, which replace the original 3-volume set in its entirety. Complete copies of <br />the application and response are located in the Denver (Sandy Brown), Grand Junction and <br />Durango offices. <br />Joe and Mike assisted with the preliminary application review for geology and surface and <br />groundwater hydrology. I would like to request your help with evaluating the response provided <br />by WFC. Brock, Janet Binns conducted the original review (in a memo dated 15 Dec 2010) of <br />the vegetation, revegetation and land use sections. I would like to request your assistance in <br />reviewing VvTC's adequacy response to the issues that Janet raised. <br />I have compiled a spreadsheet for tracking the various adequacy issues associated with this <br />application. A copy of the spreadsheet is attached, for your reference. Items provided to me by <br />each specialist were ultimately re-numbered for incorporation into the adequacy letters. Original <br />numbers, by specialist, are listed in the spreadsheet under the "Part" columns. <br />Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions that may arise. I would like to request <br />that your review comments be submitted to me by Friday, 22 July 2011. Please let me know if <br />you will be unable to respond by this date. <br />Thank you for your assistance. <br />Attachment — Adequacy Review Spreadsheet <br />cc: Sandy Brown <br />Office of Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Denver • Grand Junction - Durango Active and Inactive Mines <br />
