Hickenlooper <br />Governor <br />Mike King <br />Executive Director <br />Loretta E. Pineda <br />Director <br />The Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety is proposing to Approve the partial <br />release of coal exploration bond submitted by Moffat County Mining, LLC for Notice(s) of Intent <br />No. X- 2006 - 214 -01. The bond was submitted to cover reclamation costs of exploration drill holes <br />in Moffat County. An inspection showed that all disturbance associated with the exploration project <br />has not been adequately reclaimed. Based on the decision for the approved SL -1, Moffat County <br />Mining requested to hold bond to complete holes which were permitted, but never drilled. In <br />addition, a June 2013 bond release inspection for SL -1 showed two sites that were disturbed yet <br />unreclaimed. At the request of Moffat County Mining, all future drilling will no longer occur; <br />however, bond monies will remain in place to cover the cost of seeding one remaining site. <br />The legal description for the project is as follows: <br />Section 29, 30, 31,32, Township 6 North, Range 91 West <br />Any person with an interest which may be adversely affected by this proposed decision may submit <br />written comments to the Division at the address below within 30 days of publication of this <br />proposed decision in the Craig Daily Press. <br />If you have any questions, please feel free to call. <br />Sincerely, <br />Jason D.
