Walther <br />Eaeculrve Director <br />Michael R. Long <br />Division Director <br />Re: Ophir Lode, File No. M-2001-063, Permit Application, Request for Fourth Extension of Decision Date. <br />Dear Mr. Giesy, <br />I received your letter dated December 23, 2001, in which you ask fora 20-day extension of the decision date for the <br />permit application named above. I am approving this request, and have set the new decision date from December <br />28, 2001, to January 17, 2002. <br />I also received the packet of adequacy response materials you sent. I am busily reviewing the material, and will <br />contact you promptly if [have any questions. So far the material appears to address my concerns, and I should be <br />able to calculate a bond amount soon. <br />One item of note is that, if the decision date amves and the only outstanding adequacy issue is the BLM right-of- <br />entry agreement for the 2.09-acre triangle, I can probably condition my approval so that the permit may be issued, <br />but with the stipulation that the agreement be submitted as soon as it is available but before any mining activity. <br />If you have questions or comments, I may be reached at the Division's Durango field office: 701 Camino del Rio, <br />Room 125, Durango, CO 81301; tel 970/247-5193 or fax 970/247-5104. <br />Sincerely, <br />Bob Oswald <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />cc: Barry Tollefson, BLM, Gunnison <br />a:\oplur appl ext04/rco <br />
