The inspection report observed that the 25 foot buffer berm that <br />separated the North Tafr Hill Expansion Pit (Permit No. M-2001-051) and the Home Office Pit <br />had been mined through, creating one lazge pit. <br />In order to remain in compliance with the approved reclamation plan for both pits, Lafarge will <br />backfill to reestablish the 25 foot buffer berm between the Home Office Pit and North Tafr Hill <br />Expansion Pit. Furthermore, the mining plan will be amended to reflect the additiona10.38 acres <br />of land that was disturbed by mining through the berm. The reclamation plan for the pit will also <br />be revised to allow for silt storage and wetland creation on the western edge of the pit and open <br />water on the remaining eastern edge of the pit All adjacent landowners within 200 feet of the <br />mining activity will be notified of the mining and reclamation plan amendments as well. A <br />technical revision amendment regarding the above mine and reclamation plan changes and a <br />revised Mine Plan Map and Reclamation Plan Map will be submitted to the Division. <br />Lafarge would also like to request a 30 day extension of the June 1, 2006 submittal deadline for <br />the technical revision amendment. This would move the submittal deadline to July 1, 2006. <br />Please feel free to contact Eric Reckentine at 970-407-3620 with any further comments or <br />questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />'emu--C J vG~`~-' ° ~ <br />Noel Weisenbacher <br />Mapping/Weed Specialist <br />LAFARGE WEST, INC. <br />10170 Church Ranch Way, Suite 200_Wastminster, Color_ado_80021 <br />ieT€p one'~303j8bT-4(f0 Facsimile: (303)657-4037 <br />
