The original permit was <br />issued on March 24, 1980 prior to the State obtaining permanent program <br />approval from the Secretary of the Interior. However, the original permit <br />application conformed with most of the requirements of the permanent program. <br />As a condition to the original approval, the permittee at that time, <br />Energy Fuels, submitted information on December 14, 1981 to demonstrate that <br />the mining and reclamation plan conformed with the requirements of the new <br />state program. The State should have issued a new permit fora five-year term <br />at that time, but we failed to do so. <br />We have had several discussions with your staff about this matter, and to <br />resolve it we have decided to issue CYCC a permit retroactive to December 14, <br />1981. The permit term will expire on December 14, 1986. Most recently we <br />have discussed this matter with Rick Mills and informed him that we would send <br />the enclosed permits for your signature. Please return one of the fully <br />signed documents for our files. <br />If you have any questions, please feel free to call Fred Banta, Supervisor of <br />the Coal Program, or me. <br />Sincerely, <br />DAVID C. SHELTON <br />Director <br />DCS/srs <br />Enclosure(s) <br />cc: Rick Mills w/enclosures <br />Dan Mathews <br />Sandy Brown <br />6480E <br />423 Centennial Building, 1313 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203 Tel.
