20 <br />1 Following this request, an emergency <br />2 meeting of the MLRB was held on October 28, and <br />3 during that hearing the board determined that the <br />4 October 21 request for hearing and an objection did <br />5 contain sufficient details in order to actually move <br />6 forward with a formal public hearing. <br />7 During that October 28 meeting, the <br />8 board set a hearing date for November 17 and 18 in <br />9 Denver. Also on October 28 the board determined <br />10 that there was a need for a prehearing conference. <br />11 As Bruce Stover described earlier, <br />12 there were numerous pieces to the objection letter <br />13 received on the 21st, and in the prehearing <br />14 conference that was held on November 3, we <br />15 identified the items within that objection that were <br />16 pertinent to PR 6 and actually qualified as being <br />17 within the board's jurisdiction for ruling. <br />18 The New Horizon mine is located in <br />19 western Montrose County about 27 miles from the Utah <br />20 border as the crow flies. The mine area shown here <br />21 on the screen, here's the town of Nucla. It's just <br />22 immediately abutting the southeast corner of the <br />23 mine. The permit area is outlined in this white <br />24 dashed line here (indicated). This entire permit <br />25 area totals about 827 acres. <br />
