These rules are in accordance with the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Act(Title 34 Article <br /> 32). It has come to the attention of the Division that you may be conducting mineral operations at your claim <br /> that requires a mine reclamation permit. The Division has assigned file ID number M-2022-010 to your claim(s). <br /> Please reference this Permit ID number on any correspondence you submit to the Division. <br /> As defined in the Act(34-32-103(8)),"mining operation"means the development or extraction of a mineral from <br /> its natural occurrences on affected land. These activities would need an approved mine reclamation permit with <br /> the Division. <br /> As defined in the Act (34-32-110), Any person desiring to conduct limited mining operations may apply for the <br /> expedited processing of a mine reclamation permit under two categories: 110(1) — for operations on less than <br /> five acres; or 110(2)—for operations on less than ten acres. Both categories limit material extractions to less than <br /> 70,000 tons of mineral or overburden or combination of the two per calendar year. <br /> An approved reclamation permit is required prior to conducting any mineral mining activities on your claim. <br /> You may also need to file an NOI or MPO with the USFS. If you have any questions regarding whether your <br /> activities require a reclamation permit, please contact Michael Cunningham at the Division (303) 866-3567 x <br /> 8116. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Timothy <br /> Environmental Protection Specialist <br /> CERTIFIED MAIL NO. 7019 2280 0001 8254 5783 -Return Receipt Requested <br /> ec: Michael Cunningham,DRMS <br /> Physical: 1313 Sherman Street.Room 215, Denver.CQ 80203 P 303,866.3567 F 303,332.8106 <br /> Mailing: DRMS Room 215, 1001 E 62nd Ave,Denver, Co 80216 ht":s,+d1rms.eolorado.%ov �? 90, <br /> Jared S.
