Dear Mr. Thompson:
Enclosed you will find the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety's Proposed Decision for Technical
Revision No. 59 at the New Elk Mine. Notice of the proposed decision will be published in the The
Chronicle - News as soon as possible. The first publication will initiate the ten (10) day public comment
period for the Division's decision.
Please refer to the Performance Bond heading on the enclosed proposed decision form. If the amount of
Bond Held equals or exceeds the Revised Liability, you need not submit additional bond. However, if the
Revised Liability exceeds the Bond Held, please submit additional bond or rider to your existing bond
that equals or exceeds the Revised Liability. This Technical Revision must not be implemented until this
proposed decision becomes final and until any required increase in bond is submitted to and approved by
the Division.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Jason D. Mick
