( PBGEI) of its application to <br />Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining & Safety (CDRMS) to change the mining permit for the <br />Harms Pit located entirely on private lands in the vicinity of Pawnee National Grassland in Weld <br />County, Colorado. The enclosed vicinity map shows the location of the mining operation, the <br />access road, and the closest parcels of the Pawnee National Grassland, which is managed by the <br />United States Forest Service (Forest Service). <br />My staff and I have reviewed the application submitted by PBGEI to CDRMS for a change in the <br />operation at the Harms Pit from a 1 IOc permit to 112c permit with an expanded mine area of <br />approximately 32.2 acres, as shown on the enclosed map. <br />The Forest Service has no concerns regarding the proposed permit change and mining operation <br />expansion. <br />If you have any questions, please contact Vern Koehler, Minerals & Lands Staff Officer, at 970- <br />346 -5005 or vkoehler @fs.fed.us. <br />Sincerely, <br />v� 40 e <br />CURTIS rU& AN <br />District Ranger <br />cc: Vernon E.
