III IIIIIIIIIIIII III <br />999 <br />STATE OF COLORADO <br />DIVISION OF MINERALS AND GEOLOGY <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />1313 Sherman SI., Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />Phone: (303) 866-3567 <br />FAX: (3031 832-8106 <br />DATE: eeptember 29, 1993 <br />TO: Steve shuey <br />FROM: Christine Johnsto <br />RE: Citisen complaint; Weat Elk Miae; File No. C-SO-007 <br />OF. ~~r0 <br />ti~ ~ <br />Ne,% b <br />*.~ s O <br />. ~6 T6. <br />Roy Romer <br />Gneernor <br />Michael B Long <br />D rvis ion Director <br />As you are aware, the Division received a citizen complaint from <br />Mr. Larry Mautz who owns surface lands above areas to be mined or <br />have been mined by Mountain Coal Company. Mr. Mautz is alleging <br />that MCC has damaged a spring to which he has water rights. This <br />spring is in the Lone Pine Gulch drainage in the NW ~, of Section <br />20. I am still in the process of determining whether the spring is <br />truly a decreed spring and whether mining induced subsidence caused <br />any damage to the spring. <br />It is with these two issues that I am requesting your assistance. <br />It has been brought to my attention that Bear Coal Company is <br />mining in Section 17 close to the Section 20 line. Bear's angle of <br />draw apparently includes a portion of Section 20 and possibly the <br />spring in question. Is it possible that Bear may have impacted <br />this spring? I also would like to know what springs in this area <br />Bear is currently monitoring, to determine whether Bear has been <br />monitoring the spring in question. <br />I would like to go over this information with you at your earliest <br />convenience. Perhaps some time next week? Please let me know when <br />you would be available. <br />cc: David Berry <br />007CTZ.SSS <br />
