Our current deadline for submittal is April 4,2016.Our permit number is M-1986-102. <br /> We are in the process of making application to the Division of Reclamation, Mining,and Safety(DRMS)to alter the <br /> "post mining"reclamation plan of the limestone mine on our property at Deep Creek(seven miles west of <br /> Telluride,Colorado).The mine portion of the property occupies approximately 44 acres of our property(Parcel B). <br /> The residential portions of the property(Parcel A)occupies the balance of the nearly 70 acre property. The <br /> property has been held by the family since the early 1960s. <br /> Since becoming the designated operator last year,I have been working closely with the reclamation specialists at <br /> DRMS.The process my family is pursuing,with the full support of DRMS,involves the amendment of the current <br /> post-mine use plan. DRMS is in agreement that a safe and productive"re-purposing"of the mine can be <br /> successfully achieved without prohibitive costs.The current bond(approximately$18,000)should be adequate to <br /> satisfy the terms of the amended agreement. <br /> In addition to working on an amended agreement with the DRMS,we have been working closely with San Miguel <br /> County—both the SMCBOC and the County Planning office—to re-examine the proposed uses and a required <br /> change in zoning. The county is proposing a change in zoning to HC. <br /> Outstanding items to complete include the following: <br /> --Posting of signage("Notice")at mine entrance detailing the proposed changes in use. <br /> --Proof of service of the application to San Miguel County Commissioners. <br /> --Proof of service of the application to the San Miguel County Soil District. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> I -Z L�Z_� <br /> Dan Collins,Managing Partner <br /> Collins-Morehead, LLC <br /> Cc:Lucas West, Reclamation Specialist, DRMS,Grand Junction office <br /> P✓n <br />
