RECEIVED <br /> Martin Julie Mikulas <br /> vo Marietta ,/AUG 0 8 2016 Land Manager <br /> DIVISION OF RECLAMATION <br /> MINING AND SAFETY <br /> July 25, 2016 <br /> Mr. Peter Hays <br /> Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br /> 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br /> Denver, CO 80203 <br /> RE: Parsons Mine M-2009-082, Pit start up <br /> Dear Mr. Hays: <br /> Please accept this letter as our written notice that we intend to begin operations for the above <br /> referenced permit and you should be receiving a bond rider shortly to increase the bond from the <br /> posted $15, 300 to the $286,895 as described in the reclamation cost section of the original application <br /> and attached to this letter. We understand that based on the approvals, this site will be reviewed <br /> annually and the bond increased as necessary for the disturbance that occurs. <br /> We have worked with Weld County and City of Greeley designing the road improvements for the access <br /> into the site, turning lanes and relocation of the Whitney Ditch. All of those improvements were <br /> completed last week. We have begun stripping topsoil and overburden off of Phase IA in anticipation of <br /> moving in the plant pieces and laying out the internal roads. We have applied to Weld County for a <br /> building permit for the scale and scale house and intend to have the plant operational in September or <br /> October. Silt pond construction will also begin shortly since the silt pond located in Phase 1B is only <br /> allowed to be mined from August 1st— November 15th and the silt pond located in Phase 1C is allowed to <br /> be mined from August 151h —October 15th to accommodate the bald eagle's nest located south of those <br /> cells. <br /> Please give me a call if any additional information is needed (970) 227-4041 and we look forward to <br /> showing you the site later this month. <br /> Sincerely, /Julie Mikulas, Land Manager <br /> Rocky Mountain Division—Northern Office <br /> 1800 N Taft Hill Road, Fort Collins, CO 80534 <br /> julie.mikulas@martinmarietta.com <br /> www.martinmarietta.com <br />
