Grand Meaa III ~II~II~II~~II ~~~ <br />RECEIVED 999 <br />Coai Company <br />MAY 0 419a First and Columbia <br />~NFD ~D ~C~T1ON.-COpP~O. BOX 226 <br />'cOLO, PS ~ NA.lURA~ ~sout;~lta, Colo. 81416 <br />Office: (303) 874-7561 <br />Mine: (303) 856-6402 <br />April 28,1981 <br />Dan Mathews <br />Colorado Mine Land Reclamation Division <br />Room 423 - 1313 Sherman Street <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Dear Sir, <br />I have reviewed the complaint letter dated April 7,1981, <br />from Charles E. Stein and feel compelled to make my comments. <br />There are several things I find to be mis-represented and <br />somewhat derogatory in nature. <br />First, I recall my conversation with Mrs. Stein and feel <br />that my comment was taken out of context, since I did explain <br />to her the purpose and operation of the mine fan. The quote <br />fails to reference that statement. <br />Secondly, I know of no trespassing, torn down fences or <br />disrupted irrigation ditches by any employee of the Grand <br />Mesa Coal operation. I was not aware of the Stein residence <br />location untill I started to investigate their alleged <br />complaints. <br />Third, I have taken the liberty to visit neighboring <br />properties which border the mine property and have not been <br />confronted with a single complaint. The fan "ROAR" was faintly <br />audible at the Stein residence and only when the engine on our <br />car was shut off and we listened attentively. <br />In conclusion I feel the complaints of the Steins to be <br />without substance. Further it is the obligation of the Grand <br />Mesa Coal Company to operate in harmony with its surrounding <br />neighbors. To impose a stipulation on a mine operation on a <br />single letter and without investigation would be inexcusable. <br />We therefor, ask that you investigate this further prior to <br />making stipulations on us as an opertor. <br />Sincerely yours, <br />~'/~-~ <br />Paul E.
