Cattany , Division Director K i / f E/(Jatural Resource Trustee Re: Clarification of an Objection Letter, Conversion Application, CN-Ol, Ula Pit, M-1991-083 Deaz Ms. Fay: The Division received your July 28, 2004 objection letter regazding the Ula Pit conversion application. The letter was received on July 28a', the last day to submit objections, so it is considered a timely objection pursuant to requirements of Rule 1.7. It describes various reasons why you feel you will be adversely affected or aggrieved and you have signed the letter. Since you have complied with Rule 1.7, you will become a Party to the action. The Division will set the matter for a hearing before the Mined Land Reclamation Boazd according to provisions of Rule 2. Apre-hearing conference shall be scheduled as soon as possible in compliance with Rule 2.7 procedures. The letter also contains an attachment listing other possible objectors. However, the possible objectors did not sign the letter (if they feel aggrieved or adversely affected for the same reasons as you do they must acla3owledge it by signing the document) nor did they describe any new reasons why they would be aggrieved or adversely affected by the conduct of this proposed revised mining operation. In order to become a Party to this action the possible objectors need to outline their own specific reasons why they would be adversely affected or aggrieved by the conduct of the proposed mining operation or agree to the reasons outlined in your letter. They must sign the document so it is clear that their intent is to object to the applicant's proposal to convert the existing permit to a 112 Regulaz permit. Those who aze listed on attachment number 1 will become Parties to this action as long as they follow the above noted instructions. Signed objection documents must be submitted to the Division rather quickly so all Parties can be notified of the pre-hearing conference schedule and the date(s) of the Board hearing. If there are any other people, not listed on attachment 1, that wish to become Parties to this action they must petition the Board for party status during the hearing since July 28, 2004 was the last day to submit written objections. If you have any questions, please call Mr. Harry Posey, Senior Environmental Protection Specialist, at 303-866-3927.
