languishing for decades. Should the Division or the Board encounter a ripe situation where the <br />injunction may pose a barrier to maintenance, stabilization, or reclamation activities necessary to <br />comply with Colorado law, please contact Jeff Parsons or Travis Stills, the attorneys representing <br />plaintiffs (including INFORM), in the litigation. <br />In 2008, the Colorado Legislature had as a foundational tenet of HB -1161 the need to address <br />through legislation, rather than by regulation alone, the noncompliant status of uranium mines <br />that sit unworked and untended through the years without entering fmal release and reclamation; <br />persisting as a relentless public risk and environmental problem for decades, with no fmal <br />resolution. The SR -13A is a stellar example. Therefore, respectfully, we urge the Mined Land <br />Reclamation Board to decline the Notice of Temporary Cessation and require Cotter Corporation <br />to fully reclaim this mine and release the permit. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Jennifer Thurston <br />Director <br />INFORM <br />
