OEP I. OF MI.4TURAL RESOURCE <br />Re: Blue Ribbon Mine - Your File No. C-047-81 <br />Response to concerns raised in the April 23, 1981 <br />Preliminary Adequacy Review per your letter of <br />August 24, 1981 <br />Dear Tom: <br />Since Blue Ribbon Mine was purchased from Sunflower Energy Corp., <br />a substantial rework has been undertaken of the existing permit <br />application. New baseline data has been obtained and several sections <br />have been completely redone as recommended by the preliminary adequacy <br />review and subsequent meetings after Blue Ribbon Coal Company was <br />formed. Those include soils, vegetation, fish and wildlife, and <br />sedimentation control. Hydrology has been reworked making extensive <br />use of U. S. Steel's hydrology section which entirely encompasses the <br />Blue Ribbon permit area. <br />Geology and mine plan sections have been redone internally. <br />Revisions and review of remaining sections have been done internally <br />with assistance from an outside consulting mining engineer from <br />Normandeau Consultants in Denver, Colorado. A list of permit applica- <br />tion consultants follows: <br />Soils and Vegetation Normandeau Consultants <br />Fish and Wildlife Espey, Huston & Associates <br />Sedimentation Control and Related UTE Engineering and Surveying Co. <br />Although a majority of information is included in the attached <br />document, drafting, proper organization and proof reading are still in <br />process. The final permit application will be finished before the end <br />of September 1981. <br />Since final organization is not finished, it will be a little <br />difficult to review. My apologies for this inconvenience. A cross <br />reference for the application and the adequacy review letter will be <br />prepared as soon as possible. <br />Sincerely yours, <br />LJ,~Q~-~- S -~~ <br />William S.
