Mr. Marty McHugh <br />Gold Eagle Mining, Inc. <br />845 East Main Street <br />Montrose, CO 81401 <br />Dear Mr. McHugh: <br />Department of Energy <br />Washington, DC 20585 ( L', 7 7 <br />Ai tot 3 / <br />AA" t 7dr <br />December 1, 2011 <br />ar �y G•r OR !•"•A"O <br />pR <br />DEC 0j2011 <br />Divisiv: <br />--J <br />The U.S. District Court's Order of October 18, 2011, in Colorado Environmental Coalition v. <br />Office of Legacy Management, Civil Action No. 08 -cv -01624 (D. Colo.), issued injunctive relief <br />regarding the Department of Energy's (DOE) uranium leasing program (ULP). The district court, <br />among other things, stayed all of the ULP leases, and hence all activities on the leaseholds, <br />including actions by you as lessee or your agents. DOE has committed to notify the court if we <br />learn of any documents or communication or other circumstances that might require activities <br />on the ULP lease tracts. Because of that Order, it is particularly important that you provide the <br />Department, as required by Paragraph XVIII, "Reporting Requirements," in your ULP lease, with <br />copies of all orders, permits, and correspondence that might require you to take action on your <br />ULP lease tract. Furthermore, given the broad injunction entered by the court, we must also <br />request that you not initiate any activities on your ULP lease tracts in response to those orders, <br />permits, and correspondence or otherwise. <br />In the event that you do receive orders, permits, and correspondence that might require you to <br />take action on your ULP lease tract we request that you notify DOE of them. DOE will inform <br />you whether such proposed activities are permitted by the Court. We will make every effort to <br />respond to you as quickly as possible. <br />DOE recognizes that there are other authorities that may direct actions on your lease sites; we <br />appreciate your interest in complying with direction received from other government agencies. <br />DOE has sought clarification from the U.S. District Court regarding the scope of the injunction <br />contained in the Court's Order. Pending clarification, we are reemphasizing that the Order <br />Printed with soy ink on recycled paper <br />
