Public Notice as required by 2.07.3(2) was published on Nov. 29 and Dec. 6, 13 and 20, 2012. <br />As set forth in 2.07.3(5), "Any person having an interest which is or may be adversely affected by a <br />decision of the Division regarding the proposed surface coal mining operation... shall have the right to <br />submit written objections to or comments upon the initial or revised application for a permit, permit <br />revision or permit renewal, to the Division within 30 days after the last publication of the above notice. <br />Such objections and comments shall immediately be transmitted to the applicant by the Division and shall <br />be made available to the public, at the same locations as the application." <br />The period for submittal of objections and comments, as defined in 2.07.3(5), came to a close on Jan. 19, <br />2013. During this period, the Division received a series of comments and objections. These items are <br />attached for your records and for posting with the RN-06 application at the Montrose County <br />Courthouse Nucla Annex. <br />None of the objections includes a request for an informal conference pursuant to 2.07.3(6), and the <br />January 3 letter specifically states that the Morgans do not seek an informal conference. Please contact <br />me if you have any questions related to this matter. <br />Sincerely, <br />Marcia L.
