OSM finds DMG has provided accurate and appropriate documentation of administrative, <br /> enforcement, and civil actions brought to date by DMG against Mid-Continent Resources and its <br /> agents; accurately documented reclamation history and ongoing reclamation activity at Coal <br /> Basin; and accurately characterized the Court of Appeals ruling as noted above. Given the <br /> documentation provided, OSM finds it is neither necessary to perform an independent estimate of <br /> the cost of completing full reclamation at the Coal Basin site nor to independently file suit <br /> against Mid-Continent Resources, the Delaneys, and Reeves as you suggested. OSM reserves <br /> the right to independently file suit against Mid-Continent Resources and its officers or agents if <br /> OSM determines it is necessary to do so as the current bankruptcy, liquidation proceedings, and <br /> reclamation of the site progress. <br /> If you do not agree with these findings, you have the right under 30 CFR 842.15 to request an <br /> informal review. Your request should contain statements of how you may be adversely affected <br /> and why you feel these findings merit the informal review. Your request should be addressed to: <br /> Mr. Richard J. Seibel, Regional Director <br /> U.S. Department of the Interior <br /> Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement <br /> Western Regional Coordinating Center <br /> 1999 Broadway, Suite 3320 <br /> Denver, CO 80202-5733 <br /> Thank you again for bringing your concerns to our attention. If we can be of any further <br /> assistance please contact me at(303) 844-1424, or Henry Austin, Reclamation Specialist, at <br /> (303) 844-1466. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> James F.
