We would therefore like to extend an opportunity for your <br /> agency to comment on the road violation abatements and subsequent revision <br /> (Permit Revision - 02, currently being processed) . We would especially <br /> encourage you to comment on the revision as we continue reviewing it. Once <br /> approved the revision will become a binding part of the mining and reclamation <br /> permit; as such the current public comment period provides an excellent <br /> opportunity for suggestions and positive change. Please understand that the <br /> mining act and regulations we work under do limit the scope of our abilities <br /> somewhat, but generally allows enough flexibility to reach creative solutions <br /> for resource development and environmental protection to exist hand-in hand . <br /> I sent a copy of our adequacy review of Mid-Continent' s initial submittal to <br /> Sam Schroder of your office. We would like to approve this revision by <br /> July 2, 1992 (providing, of course that it is comprehensive and approvable) , <br /> so please return any comments as soon as possible. You will also have an <br /> opportunity to comment once a decision is rendered . <br /> In closing, I would like to thank you for organizing the recent meeting. If <br /> you have any questions about the meeting or the revision please call . <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Anthony J . Waldron <br /> Reclamation Specialist <br /> AJW/eke <br /> Enclosure(s) <br /> 3245F <br />
