Peter Matthies NCIG Financial, Inc. 7476 East Arkansas Avenue, tt104 Denver, CO 80231 RE: Technical Revision Nos. 8 & 9;,Coa1 Ridge Mine (C-85-065) s, Dear Mr. Matthies: This letter is in response to your letter to the Division dated October 4, 1991, and is intended to clarify the confusion regarding public copies of the above referenced revisions at the Garfield County Clerk and Recorder's Office. Tom Gillis, of our office, reviewed the NCIG documentation on file in - Garfield County on October 29, 1991. A copy of his memo summarizing his findings is enclosed. The Division also received a letter from Mr. Greg McKennis, of the Garfield Citizens' Alliance, dated October 19, 1991, expressing concern about public copies of TR-08 at the County Courthouse. A copy of this letter is enclosed also. A copy of an earlier letter from Mr. McKennis regarding TR-09 was forwarded to you at an earlier date. Based upon the Division's review of this situation, conversations with the Garfield County Clerk and yourself, and Mr. McKennis' comments, the Division finds that a complete copy of applications for TR-08 and TR-09 has not been available for public inspection, as required by Rule 2.08.4(5)(b)(i) of our Regulations. Most of the required pages and exhibits are in the Courthouse at this time. However, it is not clear that they have been there since the public notice publications on September 5 and 11, 1991. Furthermore, these pages have been inserted into the permit application package, and the currently approved pages are no longer available at the Courthouse. The Division is aware that NCIG made an effort to provide the required public files. However, in light of the circumstances above, it is clear that the intent of the Regulations has not been met. In order to assure interested citizens an opportunity to review the revision applications, the Division requires that NCIG republish public notice for the two revisions and place new, complete copies of the revision applications on file with the Garfield County Clerk and Recorder's Office.
