pgi <br /> WILLIAMS FORK MINING COMPANY <br /> RECEIVED <br /> OCT 252017 <br /> October 20,2017 <br /> DIVISION OF RECLAMATION <br /> Ms. Amy Yeldell MINING AND SAFETY <br /> Colorado Division of Reclamation,Mining and Safety <br /> 1313 Sherman Street,Room 215 <br /> Denver, CO 80203 <br /> Dear Ms. Yeldell: <br /> Re: Williams Fork Mining Co.,Williams Fork Pit,Permit No.M-1984-168 -`<._ <br /> Request for Temporary Cessation(TC-2) <br /> The first period of temporary cessation(TC-1) for the above referenced operation will expire <br /> soon. Please accept this letter as a request to enter into a second period of temporary cessation <br /> (TC-2). <br /> Historically, the Williams Fork Pit has been used to supply gravel as road base material for the <br /> nearby Trapper Mining Inc. surface coal mine. In recent years gravel has not been needed at the <br /> mine because crushed scoria found at Trapper Mine has been used instead. Scoria reserves found <br /> at Trapper will be depleted in 2018,thus it is anticipated that scoria from the Williams Fork Pit <br /> will again be needed,beginning in 2019. <br /> Based on your inspection of September 10, 2015, the Williams Fork Pit is adequately bonded. <br /> The surety bond remains current and valid. <br /> The pit area is hydrologically and vegetatively stable.All of the disturbed areas that possibly <br /> could be have been reclaimed. One pond is completely reclaimed, while the active pit is <br /> reclaimed to the extent possible. <br /> Resumption of mining will be a simple matter of bringing in mining and crushing equipment and <br /> continuing mining and reclamation from the spot where we most recently mined. <br /> Sincerely, / <br /> Forrest Luke <br /> Environmental Manager <br /> FVL[M/S&G Pit/Temp Cessation Letter.doc] <br /> c File 109 2.3.4 w/o attachments <br /> Revisions File <br /> P.O.
