The Division has begun the review process and has some questions regarding <br />the modeling and study reports. Both the Division Staff and Cotter have agreed to a continuance of the scheduled <br />Board Hearing so that the questions and issues can be addressed in more detail. Should the issues be resolved, a <br />formal hearing may not be necessary if the Division agrees and accepts the modeling and study results. However, <br />if both parties disagree, the Board will hear the matter and make the final decision. <br />Therefore, staff has re-scheduled the matter for Formal Public Hearing before the Colorado Mined Land <br />Reclamation Board, for consideration. The hearing will beheld in Room 318, 1313 Sherman Street. Del <br />at 10:00 a.m. or as soon thereafrer as <br />the matter can be considered. Parties and interested persons will have the opportunity to be heard. <br />If you need additional information, please contact me at the Division of Minerals and Geology, Grand Junction <br />Field Office, 101 S. 3rd St., Suite 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, telephone no. 970.241.1117. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~~ <br />G.
