Canany <br />Division Director <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />I have received and reviewed the Twentymile Coal Company (Company) request, dated 26 <br />September 2005, fora 90-day extension to the abatement deadline of 7 October 2005 associated <br />with Part (26) of Notice of Violation (NOV) CV-2005-005. The revised abatement deadline is 5 <br />January 2006. I concur with the requested extension for the following reasons. <br />The Company has demonstrated diligence in the prescribed abatement of the violation. A delay <br />was not intentional, but was a result of an unintentional error in a public notice [Rule 5.03.2(2)(c) <br />and Rule 5.03.2(2)(c)(i)]. The time required and allowed for processing revisions to the permit <br />are prescribed by the Rules, and cannot be avoided by the Company or circumvented by the <br />Division. <br />The Company requested an extension to the period of abatement in fulfillment of the provisions <br />of Rule 5.03.2(2)(e). <br />The Company requested an extension of time for abatement that is the shortest time necessary to <br />abate the violation [Rule 5.03.2(2)(e)]. <br />The Company requested an extension of time of the 90 days allowable [Rule 5.03.2(2)(g)]. <br />files: C-1981-056 CV 2005-005 <br />Office of Office of Colorado <br />Mined Land Reclamation Active and Inactive Mines Geological Survey <br />
