Hamlet J. (Chips) Garry Director Mined Land Reclamation Colorado Department of Natural Resources 723 Centennial Building 1313 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203 RE: McClane Canyon Permit Application ;i79-129, and SEI-MLR I4eeting of 12/10/79 Dear .•1r. Barry: I want to express my appreciation for the diligence and control exhibited by you and your staff in the joint review of the above referenced application/ mine plan with the Office of Surface t^ining. I would also applaud your de- partment's efforts to expedite, to the extent possible within the spirit of rules and regulations, the FicClane Canyon Permit Application in the face of adverse coordinating conditions between the state and federal agencies. I am at least partially aware of the difficulties that you face in preparing rules and regulations required by the Act of 1977, the efforts aimed at finalizing a cooperative agreement, coordination of mining and permitting activities with the Office of Surface I•iining and the review of numerous other Colorado mining applications. In light of the above, it amazes me that your staff has managed to maintain an air of professionalism and cooperation with the operators that can only serve our joint interests. I only hope that the cooperation, fairness, concern and open-minded approach of you and your staff will not be totally eliminated by new arrangements and/or joint efforts with the Office of Surface hlining. I have instructed Bill Bosworth (our Director of Environmental Affairs) to maintain the line of communication you have left open to us. If you have any questions regarding the McClane Canyon application or a need for addi- tional information, please contact us at your convenience.
