This mine was selected by the OSM as one of two Colorado sites evaluated for the <br />EY 2013 Reclamation Success Special Focus on "Stream Channel and Drainage Reconstruction." Our <br />inspection of the Carbon Junction Permanent Diversion and the Upper Carbon Junction Channel resulted in our <br />issuing the NOV. <br />In order to support you in your determination of an appropriate Proposed Civil Penalty, I am attaching a number of <br />documents for your reference: <br />1. 23- May -2013 CV- 2013 -005 <br />2. 23- May -2013 DRMS Inspection Report documenting 30- Apr -2013 Inspection <br />3. 20- May -2013 OSM Mine Site Evaluation documenting 30- Apr -2013 Inspection <br />4.
