The Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety has issued a proposed decision to Approve
Bond Release Application No. 11 at the Edna Strip Mine. This decision will become final at the close of
the thirty (30) day public comment period, which commences with the initial publication in the Steamboat
Pilot. A copy of the proposed decision and written findings is enclosed.
Since this mine is a federal mine, our decision is subject to the concurrence of OSM, and the signature of
an authorized OSM representative is required for release of the bond. Therefore, the Division respectfully
requests that OSM notify the Division of concurrence or nonconcurrence prior to the end of the public
comment period, in accordance with the agreement dated June 30, 1997, Procedures for Cooperating State
and Federal Agencies to Provide Mutual Concurrence on the Release of Performance Bonds from Federal
Lands Coal Mining Operations.
If you have questions or need of additional information, please contact me.
Sincerely,
