6/12/2018 State.co.us Executive Branch Mail - West Elk PR -15 Site Inspection and Informal Conference <br />STATE OF DRMS_CoalAdmin - DNR, DNR <dnr drms_coal_admin@state.co.us> <br />'r COLORADO <br />Stark - DNR, Jim <jim.stark@state.co.us> Tue, Jun 12, 2018 at 10:03 AM <br />To: Shannon Hughes<shughes@wildearthguardians.org> <br />Cc: Jason Musick <jason.musick@state.co.us>, Leigh Simmons <leigh.simmons@state.co.us>, DNR DRMS_CoalAdmin - <br />DNR <dnr—drms—coal—admin@state.co.us> <br />Shannon, <br />I just wanted to follow up on our phone conversation from yesterday afternoon. Regarding the request for a site <br />inspection the operator and the Division are fine with setting that up. There is, however, one item that is out of the <br />Division's jurisdiction and that is air quality standards. Because of our lack of jurisdiction, we will not be able to <br />accommodate you taking an air sample from any of the mine ventilation boreholes. We will be able to look at the <br />proposed Sunset Trail expansion area and the reclamation progression at the site. As we discussed, given our various <br />schedules and the Independence Day Holiday, we will need to conduct the inspection next week on either Thursday or <br />Friday (6/21 or 6/22). We can meet early next week to go over an inspection plan so we maximize our time in the field. <br />With regards to the Informal Conference, by Rule we are required to hold the conference on or before 7/2/2018. That <br />said, if all parties agree, we can hold it at a later date. As we discussed, the last week in July or first week in August <br />appears to be a good time for the conference. We can work on a date when we talk next week, as we will need to <br />reserve a space and we are required to publish a notice of the conference at least two weeks before the conference. <br />If you can let me know ASAP regarding next week's inspection and a good time to meet to work on an inspection plan <br />would appreciate it. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thanks and have a great day. <br />James R Stark <br />rli Ig 1and Safety <br />P 303.866.3567 ( C 720.724.0486 1 F 303.832.8106 <br />1313 Sherman Street St., Suite 215, Denver, CO 80203 <br />jim.stark@state.co.us ( http://mining.state.co.us <br />https://mail.google.com/mail/b/AOg3vwk9HMBKxYjXiTKP-AZVo_val37EbncQUwR1zIAxy5SNnRIL/u/O/?ui=2&ik=deb7fOcd20&jsver=k8XTJOJ1 kuE.en... 1/1 <br />
