Savage of your division to Mr. Vance <br />Mills of Trinidad Basin Mining, Inc., the permittae under the <br />referenced permit. I appreciate your taking action in response <br />to my letter of January 13; however, Mr. Savage's letter and my <br />earlier telephone conversation with you have raised additional <br />questions. <br />First, I note that Pir. Savage's letter does not impose any <br />time frame for Trinidad Basin Mining's reply. As I told you in <br />our conversation, it will be necessary for us to make a deci- <br />sion soon as to whether or not we must join the MLRD as a party <br />in our pending federal litigation. While we might feel com- <br />fortable delaying somewhat assertion of our state court causes _ <br />of action, any proceeding under 42 U.S.C. ~ 1983 should proba- <br />bly be filed promptly and consolidated with the pending litiga- <br />tion. <br />I was also somewhat troubled by your comments to the <br />effect that MLRD's approach to resolving defects in the mining <br />permit might be different as a result of these defects having <br />
