COLORADO 80202 <br />November 1, 1988 <br />Mr. David Canning <br />Sunland Mining Corporation <br />P. 0. Box 55 <br />Oak Creek, Colorado 80467 <br />Dear Mr. Canning: <br />_• J <br />The Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE) has <br />terminated, effective immediately, Federal permit CO-0037, issued on May 31, <br />1983, for Sunland Mining Corporation's Apex #2 mine. The Federal permit was <br />terminated in accordance with OSMRE's Directive on the Termination of Federal <br />Permits because the State has a cooperative agreement that delegates the <br />permitting responsibilities on Federal lands to the State, and Colorado t4ined <br />Land Reclamation Division (NERD) has issued State permit C-81-011 for the Apex <br />#2 mine in accordance with the Colorado State program and cooperative <br />agreement. <br />I have enclosed the memorandum terminating the Federal permit. Attached to <br />the memorandum are the applicable standard conditions of approval of the <br />Apez #2 mine mining plan approved by the Assistant Secretary on Mey 31, 1983, <br />for Federal leases, D-046544 and C-OL27592. These conditions xere previously <br />incorporated in the Federal permit. Notwithstanding the termination of the <br />Federal permit, these conditions remain in full force and effect. <br />Colorado MLP.D is now the regulatory authority for surface coal mining and <br />reclamation operations on Federal lands at the Apex #2 mine under Colorado <br />State permit C-81-011, the Colorado State program, and the cooperative <br />agreement. Mining operations on Federal leases D-046544 and C-0127592 must be <br />conducted in accordance with the approved mining plan, the leases, the Mineral <br />Leasing Act of 1920, as amended, and its implementing regulations, as well as <br />the State permit. <br />If you have any questions, please contact Rick Williaason at (303) 844-5656. <br />Sincerely, <br />Ranvir Singh, Chief <br />Federal Lands Branch <br />T41(E ~ ~ <br />PRIDE IN ~~ <br />~ ~ <br />In Rrpl~' Rr(ri To <br />4a41 <br />CO-0037 <br />idov 71908 <br />Enclosures <br />
