COLORADO <br />Division of Reclamation, <br />Mining and Safety <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />July 9, 2015 <br />Tony Tennyson <br />Colowyo Coal Company L.P. <br />5731 State Highway 13 <br />Meeker, CO 81641 <br />Re: Colowyo Mine (Permit No. C-1981-019) <br />Completeness and Inspection for Bond Release Application No. 8 (SL -08) <br />Dear Mr. Tennyson: <br />John Shumate at OSM began reviewing the SL -08 application, and he brought an error to my attention. <br />The submitted public notice was missing requirements of Rule 3.03.2(1)(b). In particular, it was missing <br />a statement of the portion of bond that is sought for release. It also lacked a description of the type and <br />dates of reclamation work performed and a description of the results as they relate to the permittee's <br />approved reclamation plan. Therefore, I have had to rescind my decision of finding this application <br />complete. <br />You need to re -run the public notices with this information added to them. Division and OSM staff <br />would like to review a draft notice before it is sent to the newspapers. Also, the Division will assist with <br />the estimate of the portion of bond that is sought for release. I will be in communication with you <br />regarding that portion of the revision of the notice. <br />The planned bond release inspection of the Colowyo Coal Mine on July 28, 2015 is hereby canceled. It <br />will be rescheduled at a later date. <br />If you have questions or need additional information, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />Robert D.
