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 Daily Sentinel. A copy of the proposed decision and written findings is <br />enclosed. <br /> <br />This Phase III bond release approves the release of 4.0 acres of reclaimed land on the west side <br />of the Colorado River. These 4.0 acres have been approved for an industrial/commercial post <br />mining land use. These areas will be part of a shooting range complex jointly operated by the <br />Town of Palisade and the Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Since this mine is a federal mine, our <br />decision is subject to the concurrence of OSM, and the signature of an authorized OSM <br />representative is required for release of the bond. Therefore, the Division respectfully requests <br />that OSM notify the Division of concurrence or nonconcurrence prior to the end of the public <br />comment period, in accordance with the agreement dated June 30, 1997, Procedures for <br />Cooperating State and Federal Agencies to Provide Mutual Concurrence on the Release of <br />Performance Bonds from Federal Lands Coal Mining Operations. <br /> <br />If you have questions or need of additional information, please contact me. <br />
