I have reviewed <br />the proposed sampling plan and find that it meets the requirements of collecting baseline date in <br />accordance with Rule 2.04.10. The proposed baseline sampling for the projected mine expansion permit <br />revision is also in agreement with the Division's "Guidelines for Compliance with Land Use and <br />Vegetation Requirements of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board for Coal Mining" (October <br />1988). <br />The Division has no comments or recommended changes to add to the proposed sampling plan. Thank <br />you for proving the Division an opportunity to review the proposed sampling plan prior to baseline data <br />collection. <br />Sincerely, <br />;Janet H. inns <br />Environm ntal Protection Specialist II <br />03) 866- 944 <br />Cc: Lindsey Brant, Habitat Management <br />Office of Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Denver • Grand )unction • Durango Active and Inactive Mines
