The <br />project, located approximately 5 miles southwest of Gateway, Mesa County, Colorado, entails <br />mining UraniumNanadium ore from an existing low grade ore stockpile in the vicinity of the <br />October Mine, and transporting ore to an off-site mill in UT. The total proposed disturbance to <br />be reclaimed on public lands under this Plan is approximately 0.35 acres. The proposed activity <br />was authorized on September 5th, 2008. The Plan has been in temporary cessation status for at <br />least the past 5 years. <br />On November 13th, 2017, a site visit was made to the October Ore Pile Plan of Operation area by <br />BLM Geologist, Eric Eckberg, CO-DRMS Geologist, Stephanie Mitchell, and yourself, in order <br />to discuss minor changes Nuvemco would like to make to the Plan. These changes include: <br />leaving the ore pile in place due to market conditions, reshaping the ore pile to reclaim <br />disturbance made during bulk sampling and maintain stability of the pile in perpetuity, and <br />sourcing of topsoil to be used for reclamation purposes. <br />
