" Page 3 <br /> warehouse. Disposal is anticipated to occur in January or February, a one-time event <br /> intended to complete clean-up of both sites. <br /> Outside the buildings, the site consists of flat, paved and gravelled parking areas and <br /> roads. A note in the original MLRD permit indicates that 2.17 of the total 27 acres in <br /> the permit area was disturbed for these purposes. Loading and unloading of <br /> equipment, and some outdoor storage of equipment, takes place on the terraced area <br /> south of the warehouse. Areas adjacent the parking lots and roads are very well <br /> vegetated. <br /> The pond itself has never discharged. It is an incised structure which was intended to <br /> be pumped if necessary, but it has never been necessary to do so. The responsibility <br /> of monitoring and quarterly reports as to discharges from this site is not a heavy <br /> burden. However, it does entail some responsibility, just as the permit fees impose <br /> some additional costs on the bankrupt estate. As the bankruptcy funds are derived <br /> solely from asset sales, and there is a substantial need for these funds to carry out <br /> reclamation at the mine site, it seems to me prudent to curtail any expenditures which <br /> are not clearly necessary. <br /> For the reasons given above, I question whether Permit COG-850026 is necessary, or <br /> serves any useful purpose. Please consider allowing us to simply not renew. I do <br /> want to make it clear that Mid-Continent intends to comply with environmental law and <br /> regulatory requirements. If you determine that Mid-Continent is required to continue <br /> this permit, we will do so. <br /> Thank you for your consideration. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Diane Delaney <br /> cc: Jon Kubic <br /> Steve Renner, DMG <br />
