This revision serves two primary <br /> purposes. First,to increase the affected land limit and accordingly increase the bond for the operation so the <br /> site is fully covered with an appropriate and adequate bond. Second,is to present the various options <br /> regrading the future of this permit and the site. Adjacent land uses have changed dramatically in recent years <br /> and mining may no longer be appropriate for the site.With housing developments popping up everywhere,a <br /> mining operation is perhaps no longer compatible with nearby residential areas.This presents various <br /> opportunities for the future of the site. At this point,it appears likely that a land developer that has developed <br /> adjacent land to the north will acquire the Vollmer Pit for purposes of development. And that acquisition may <br /> occur fairly soon. It is not known when development would occur. Therefore,it is important to bring any <br /> outstanding issues regarding the affected land or bonding up,to date so when a succession of operator is <br /> submitted the site will already be covered well for full reclamation,if that is what needs to happen at some <br /> point.We have tried to keep this TR as simple as possible so as to not create unnecessary complications for a <br /> future successor and allow them to comply with the reclamation requirements with comparative ease. As you <br /> will see,the basic instructions for what would be needed for a future owner is contained in this revision and <br /> that would become a part of the permit prior to transfer to a new owner. Additional instruction will also be <br /> provided if a succession of operator actually occurs. <br /> If you have any questions,please contact me at the above address or at (303) 906-8096 (cell phone) or by <br /> email at mheifner610@gmail.com. <br /> Respectfully, <br /> )64 ,' <br /> Mark A.
