The decision date was set for November, 7, 2011. The preliminary adequacy review <br />issued on October 3, 2011 of the EPP identified technical and administrative requirements that need further <br />clarification or correction. <br />On October 26, 2011 Cotter requested an extension of six months of the decision date to have time to address the <br />issues raised in the review. The Division agrees that the extension is necessary in order for Cotter to collect, <br />submit and allow adequate time for review of responses prior to any decision. The new decision date is now set <br />for May 7, 2012. The Division is requesting that Cotter submit its responses to staff by no later than April 9, 2012 <br />to allow adequate time for the multi - disciplinary team review. <br />If you need additional information please contact me at the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety, Grand <br />Junction Field Office, 101 S. 3rd St., Suite 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, or by telephone no. 970.241.1117. <br />Sincerely, <br />G.
