The Operator was to submit an augmentation plan to the appropriate water <br />court for approval by February 16, 2015 and provide written documentation demonstrating the <br />augmentation plan has been filed in court. The Division has received notice that the Office of the <br />State Engineer has extended the deadline for filing an augmentation plan to December 31, 2015. <br />Therefore, the new deadline for providing evidence that an augmentation plan has been filed is <br />December 31, 2015. <br />Please note that if the corrective action(s) are not properly addressed, and evidence provided to <br />the Division by the date provided above, the listed problems could be escalated to the level of <br />possible violations and would then be referred to the Mined Land Reclamation Board for further <br />action. <br />If the problem has already been remedied, please provide evidence of its completion. If you have <br />any questions or concerns, please contact me at (303) 866-3567 x8116. <br />Sincerely, <br />A <br />Michael A.
