Cottony <br />Division Director <br />Natural Resource Tnrstee <br />The Division of Minerals and Geology received your letter dated May 22, 2006 regazding the Home Office Pit, <br />Permit No. M-1977-439. Your letter references hat a technical revision amendment will be submitted to address <br />the problems noted in the Division's March 7, 2006 inspection regarding the mining of the 25 foot buffer between <br />the Home Office Pit and the North Taft Hill Expansion Pit (Permit M-2001-051). <br />Please be aware that the Division does not have a "technical revision amendment" application. Changes to <br />mining and reclamation plans are handled as either a technical revision or as an amendment to the permit. The <br />Division does have a policy titled, "Additions and deletions of acreage where no disturbance has occurred" which <br />is attached for your review. Under this policy a technical revision may be used in lieu of a permit amendment for <br />when an operator wants to add new acreage by deleting undisturbed acreage from either the permitted area or <br />affected azea. However, the conditions at the Home Office Pit do not fall within the policy guidelines. <br />Therefore, the Division believes that an amendment to the permit is necessary to address the mining of the 25-foot <br />berm between the Home Office Pit and the North Taft Hill Expansion Pit. The Division will approve your request <br />fora 30-day extension to file the permit amendment to July 1, 2006. <br />If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 303-866-4943. <br />Si ere y, <br />~~ <br />Erica rosby <br />Environmental Protection Specl <br />Enclosure; DMG Policy Memo <br />cc: Carl Mount; DMG <br />STATE OF COLORADO <br />Once of Office of Colorado <br />Mined Land Rxlamation Active and Inactive Mines Geological Survey <br />
