.` l -y 111111111! 111111 l1 June 10, 1986 MR. PETER O'CONNJR MINED LAND RECLAMATION DIVISION 1313 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203 RE: BLUE FLAME COAL MINE Adequacy Review #2 Dear PETER: This letter is in response to the letter I received from you dated May 27, 1986. Discussion follows, by the number: APPLICATION FORM (1) The discrepancy between item 15 and 16 in the General Operation Infor- mation on the Application can be explained as follows: As you are aware, BLUE FT,AME COAL MINE ownes the coal in the exposed coal seam on a 40 acre tract. The area affected, including the underground seam, bench areas and access roads, equal approximately 25.1 acres, defined as the affected area. The bond and insurance will cover the full 40 acres because BLUE FLAME COAL MINE has the right to use what- ever surface that may became necessary for mining operations. As I understand, the definition in 1.04.(7), affected area means the lands which are presently being used or land that is located above or below the actual coal seam. The affected area de- finition is in the present and past-tense. The definition of acreage to be permitted as defined in Rule 1.04(89), includes all land indicated on the map in all araes which are now presently or will be affected by coal mining. The definition has a future et_ement in it and that is the reason that the full 40 acres were listed in the de- finition of acreage to be permitted. However, BLUE FLAME COAL MINE has no objection to amending either or both of the acreage areas. Please advise us as to your plea- sure. P'_ease find enclosed a letter from MR. CARWIN R. BLEIIYP, regarding my author- ization to bind this application. 2.03.3 FORMAT AND SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (2) All technical data and appropriate supplemental information was gathered b y the acceptable standard methodologies of the discipline involved.
