Dear Mr. and Mrs. Farmer, I am writing to you as a follow-up to my 7/3/02 inspection of the Spor Pit, in which I noted a few problems to be corrected. The problems fall under the topics of "signs and markers," "topsoil," and "revegetation." The problems described in that report list specific actions to be taken to correct them, and deadline dates by which this office is to receive evidence of such correction. To-date this office has not received any response from you for any of the problem corrections. You should be aware that by not addressing a problem at a mine site in a timely or adequate manner, the correction to the problem may increase in scope or cost. Also, by not submitting a required response to a documented problem, the severity may increase to a point where additional bond or enforcement action becomes necessary. The problems noted at your pit are easily remedied, and it is hoped that you do so soon. In the interest of bringing your attention to the problem items again, I have attached a copy of that 7/3/02 inspection report to this letter. Please review it, take whatever actions are necessary at the site, and submit to me a written statement describing the corrective actions carved out. You must do these things within the next 30 days, including submitting your response to me, to avoid possible enforcement action. I look forward to your response. Please contact me with any questions, and submit your responses directly to me, at the Division's Durango field office: 701 Camino del Rio, Room 125, Durango, CO 81301; tele 970/247-5193 or fax 970/247-5104.
