Mine No. 2 (Permit No. C-1980-002) <br />Bond Release Application No. 1 (SL -1) <br />Dear Mr. Boehms: <br />The Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety has issued a proposed decision to <br />approve Bond Release Application No. 1 at the O.C. Mine No. 2. This decision will become <br />final at the close of the thirty (30) day public comment period, which commences with the initial <br />publication in the The Gunnison County Times. A copy of the proposed decision and written <br />findings is enclosed. <br />This decision constitutes a full release of reclamation liability for the O.C. Mine No. 2. <br />Pursuant to Rule 3.03.3(1), the Division is proposing to terminate its jurisdiction over this entire <br />coal mining operation. <br />Since this mine is a federal mine, our decision is subject to the concurrence of OSM, and the <br />signature of an authorized OSM representative is required for release of the bond. Therefore, the <br />Division respectfully requests that OSM notify the Division of concurrence or nonconcurrence <br />prior to the end of the public comment period, in accordance with the agreement dated June 30, <br />1997, Procedures for Cooperating State and Federal Agencies to Provide Mutual Concurrence on <br />the Release of Performance Bonds from Federal Lands Coal Mining Operations. <br />If you have questions or need of additional information, please contact me. <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3567 F 303.832.8106 http://mining.state.co.us <br />John W.
