Proposed Decision - Technical Revision No. 98 (TR -98), revision of West Taylor Fill temporary out of pit spoil pile design. Dear Mr. Tennyson: Enclosed you will find the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety's Proposed Decision for Technical Revision No. 98 at the Colowyo Coal Mine. Notice of the proposed decision will be published in the Craig Daily Press as soon as possible. The first publication will initiate the ten (10) day public comment period for the Division's decision. Documentation must be submitted to the Division demonstrating that a copy of the approved revision application was sent to the Office of Surface Mining and the Bureau of Land Management. The material should be sent within 15 days of final approval. Please refer to the Performance Bond heading on the enclosed proposed decision form. Because the Revised Liability exceeds the Bond Held, please submit additional bond or rider to your existing bond that equals or exceeds the Revised Liability. This Technical Revision must not be implemented until this proposed decision becomes final and until any required increase in bond is submitted to and approved by the Division. If you have any questions, please contact me. Sincerely, Robert D.
