Installation of utilities roads,drainage <br /> improvements and on site improvements for a new Costco warehouse are complete and the new Costco <br /> Warehouse opened on May 4,2023. Mining on the property has not commenced. However,the operator has <br /> constructed the screening berms along the western perimeter of the amended permit area and is completing <br /> other improvements in anticipation of mining. <br /> We submitted an acreage reduction request in December 2022 for 62.96 acres.The request was approved by <br /> the Division on January 19,2023. That request should have included 86.5 acres.This request is to remove the <br /> remaining 23.54 acres from the permit boundary.The area to be removed from the permit boundary is shown on <br /> the attached acreage exhibit and updated mining and reclamation plans.This application has been submitted <br /> under separate cover via Certified Mail to the Division. <br /> Thank you for your assistance.
