Drawer "E" <br />Paonia, Colorado 81428 <br />Re: Requested Amendment to Interim Program Mining Permit <br />File No. 77-353, Orchard Valley Mine <br />Dear Pat: <br />As I explained in our phone conversation this afternoon, the Division has <br />decided to handle your request for permission to begin mining into federal <br />lease 27432 as an amendment to your interim program mining permit. The <br />Division feels it will be necessary to reevaluate your current reclamation <br />bond and to attach stipulations to your amended permit requiring all <br />information requested in our letter of December 2, 1980 be submitted for <br />review. <br />We need a letter from you specifically incorporating the materials you <br />submitted in June 1979 into your permit amendment and expanding your permit <br />boundary to include your present permitted area, the total extent of your <br />present underground workings, and the area you plan to mine into during the <br />next twelve months. <br />Before the review of such an amendment can continue, a map delineating <br />the new permit boundary and the ground water hydrology data requested in <br />our letter of December 2, 1980 will be required. An application fee based <br />on the number of acres included in the new permit area wilt be required <br />(Rule 1.8) and public notice must be published in accordance with Rule 2.2 <br />of the July, 1978 Rules and Regulations. <br />As always, if I may be of further assistance or if these arrangements are <br />unclear or unacceptable, feel free to call me. <br />Sincerely, <br />Peter N. Evans <br />Reclamation Specialist <br />/k <br />Encl. <br />Ii~ ~ i <br />
