RECEIVED <br /> SEP 13 2023 <br /> Colorado Division of Reclamation, <br /> Mining and Safety <br /> RPM,Inc. <br /> September 7, 2023 <br /> Colorado Division of Reclamation,Mining and Safety <br /> Attn: Mr. Joel Renfro <br /> 1001 E. 62nd Ave.,Rm 215 <br /> Denver, CO 80216 Certified Mail No. 7019 1640 0000 5396 8308 <br /> RE: Corrective Actions, Permit No. M2009-077, Dill Pit <br /> Dear Mr. Renfro, <br /> Thank you for giving us the opportunity to respond to the Colorado Division of Reclamation, <br /> Mining and Safety's concerns (CDRMS). Attached is a Letter of Authorization which gives <br /> RPM the authority to represent Tracy and Ed Grimes (the permit holders) in addressing the <br /> inspection report concerns. <br /> In order to properly address the CDRMS's corrective actions, we request we be given until <br /> September 29, 2023,to address the concerns. We need additional time to adequately comment on <br /> CDRMS's bond calculation. We may also need additional time to discuss with CDRMS the <br /> topsoil pile issue and County Road culvert. <br /> Problem #1: <br /> "The Division found that 1.9 acres of land, immediately east of the operation, have been affected <br /> outside of the approved permit boundary. Imported silty clay has been stockpiled outside of the <br /> permit boundary with the intent to use for reclamation. The stockpiles are stored on property <br /> owned by the operator and have not yet been used in reclamation of the mining operation. Using <br /> these stockpiles in reclamation of the mining operation would result in a possible violation <br /> pursuant to C.R.S. 34-32.5-116(4)(1)for failure to protect areas outside of the affected land from <br /> slides or damage occurring during the mining operation. CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: If the <br /> operator wishes to use any of the material stored outside of the permit boundary for the <br /> mining operation, an Amendment application must be submitted to expand the permit <br /> boundary to include the stockpile area. Alternatively, if the operator plans to use the material <br /> on their property, and not for reclamation of the mining operation, a written commitment <br /> shall be submitted stating as such. Either the above reference Amendment application or the <br /> written commitment must be submitted to our office by the corrective action due date." <br /> (Emphasis added) <br /> RPM,Inc., 25049 E.Alder Dr.,Aurora,CO 80016 Phone:(303)854-7499 Email:hahu mph ries2(alcom cast.net <br />
