During the December 2013 Division inspection, there was a verbal <br /> commitment that final grading would be taking place in the Spring of 2014. Per Rule 3.1.3, all <br /> reclamation shall be carried to completion by the Operator with all reasonable diligence, and <br /> each phase of reclamation shall be completed within five (5) years from the date the <br /> Operator informs the Board or Office that such phase has commenced, unless extended by the <br /> Board or Office. According to the Operators 2014 Annual Report, final reclamation is taking <br /> place. From the Divisions observations, there has not been reclamation or final grading <br /> occurring at this time. <br /> If you need additional information please contact me at the Division of Reclamation, Mining <br /> and Safety, Grand Junction Field Office, 101 S. 3rd St., Suite 301, Grand Junction, Colorado <br /> 81501, by telephone at 970.242.5025, or by e-mail at stephanie.mitcheL[@state.co.us. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Stephanie Mitchell <br /> Environmental Protection Specialist <br /> Cc.
