Banta, Director Mined Land Declamation Division Department of Natural Resources State of Colorado 215 Centennial Building 1313 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203-2273 RECEIVED JUL 71988 MINEQ LAND RECLAMATION 1~IVI$IOW July 5, 1989 RE: KC-81-016 - Hawk's Nest Mine owned by Western Slope Carbon, Inc., a Colorado corporation Dear Mr. Banta: You may recall that the undersigned from this office appeared in Denver on two occasions on behalf of the Western Slope Carbon, Inc., in connection with the renewal of its permit and in connection with your order of compliance with certain reclamation projects at the mine site. The permittee, Western Slope Carbon, Inc., failed to comply with your requirements and failed to obtain a renewal of its permit and your agency thereupon revoked on about June 1, 1989, its security bond, which we believe was in the form of certificates of deposit or similar good money which you may now have converted into cash tc u=_e and be held for purpose of completing the required reclamation work. it is our understanding that if there are any funds remaining after completion of your work, they will be returned to the permittee and principal on the bond, Western Slope Carbon, Inc. We are sorry that they were not able to comply and also sorry that they failed and refused to pay our attorney fees and expenses and we therefore have obtained a money judgment against Western Slope Carbon, Inc., in the County Court of Delta County, Colorado, for approximately $1,400.00. We believe that the proceeds, if any remain after payment for the reclamation work, is the only asset available to the corporation, since the mine property itself is not readily saleable and we would have no purpose or benefit in attempting to levy upon this property by an execution under our judgment.
