Lt 1931 MIi~JED LAND RECI-AfvlATION ~^io. Dcp!. of P.atuial Reso:uce~ This will confirm our recent discussions concerning the unexpected reduction in mining and related activities at the Kerr Coal surface mine outside Walden. As we discussed in our conference on Thursday, April 16, 1981, and as further explained in Kerr Coal Company's re- cent letter to Governor Lamm, the sudden and unexpected termi- nation of Kerr Coal's supply contract with its primary custo- mer, Union Electric of St. Louis, Missouri, has compelled Kerr to drastically curtail mining and related activities at the Kerr mine. Kerr is concerned, of course, with maintaining its present status of compliance with the Colorado Surface Coal Mining Reclamation Act and we accordingly met with you to dis- cuss what, if any, measures must be taken during this period of greatly reduced mining activity. You indicated to us that you and Mike Savage had quickly reviwed the recently issued Kerr permit and it was your judgment that nothing in the way of additional permit, permit amendment or technical revision filings would be necessary to submit during this period of re- duced activity.
