Name: Lorencito Canyon Mine <br />Address: 12250 Hwy 12, Weston, CO 81091 <br />Permit 9: C1996084 <br />b. 0.0 acres were disturbed during 2014. In the review of the 2013 a typographical <br />error was noted on the standardized form (where the Cumulative Total and Last <br />Year's Cumulative Total values for Acres disturbed were given as 155.9 rather <br />than 155.6). Although this error has persisted, further review has revealed that <br />the typo is not the only error. In fact, the Cumulative Total of Acres disturbed <br />has been calculated incorrectly. The formula to calculate that value is: <br />Cumulative Total of Acres Disturbed <br />(Acreage in active mining areas <br />+ Cumulative Total of Acres backfilled and graded <br />+ Acreage in long -term mining or reclamation facilities) <br />(Note that the acreage that has been Phase III bond released is not included) <br />The Division calculates the Cumulative Total of Acres disturbed as 128.4 <br />Please resubmit the 2014 ARR with a corrected standardized form <br />c. 0.0 acres were backfilled and graded during 2014 <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3567 F 303.832.8106 http: / /mining.state.co.us <br />John W.
