Coal Basin Questions4 <br /> PRE - LAW DISTURBANCE <br /> Q. What about the property behind the coke ovens near Redstone. Was that ever part of <br /> the permit: <br /> A. This area was never part of the MCR Coal Basin Permit. However, under <br /> Colorado's Inactive Mine Reclamation Program if mine related problem exists the <br /> program can investigate and abate abandoned mines which pose a public health and <br /> safety problem. The area will be investigated to see if pre-law mining activities have <br /> caused a safety or environmental problem. If the problem is related to past mining <br /> activities it will be eligible for reclamation under the Inactive Mine Program. <br /> Q. What about the pre-law (pre-1977) disturbance at the Coal Basin Mine? <br /> A. The Colorado Inactive Mine Reclamation Program is working with the Coal staff to <br /> determine areas which were mined prior to 1977 and may be eligible for reclamation <br /> under this program. <br /> For more information: Steve Renner - (303) 866-3567 <br />
