September 6, 2023 Mike T. Weldon George T. Weldon Construction, LLC P.O. Box 1170 Vernal, UT 84078 Re: North River Gravel Pit Extension - File No. M-1999-007 George T. Weldon Construction, LLC Surety Release Request (SL-2) Full/Final Release Dear Mike T. Weldon: On September 6, 2023 the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety considered your request for a financial warranty release. The Division found that reclamation had not been accomplished at this site and denied this request. Overall desirable vegetative cover was insufficient. Noxious weeds need to be better managed in order to promote reclamation success. The Erosion/Subsidence feature also needs to be repaired and seeded. Please review the July 24, 2023 inspection report for the specific reasons for the financial warranty release denial. In addition, if you have past due annual fees or unpaid civil penalties, your surety cannot be reduced or released. In accordance with Rule 1.4.11, any person who can demonstrate that they are directly and adversely affected or aggrieved by an action of the Office, may petition for a hearing before the Board on such action within thirty (30) days of the date of the Office decision, if the decision was a denial, without a hearing. Such petitions for a hearing shall state how the petitioner is directly and adversely affected or aggrieved by the Office’s decision, and how the petitioner’s interests are entitled to protection under the Act. The petitioner shall list and explain any issue the petitioner believes should be considered by the Board at the hearing on the matter. The petition for a hearing shall specify the application or file number assigned by the Office. If you have any questions, please contact me by telephone at (303) 866-3567 x 8183, or by email at Amy.yeldell@state.co.us. Sincerely, Amy C. Yeldell
