~ III IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII ~ February 21, 2001 RECEIVED FEB 1 3 201 Division of Minerals & Geology 13 ] 3 Sherman Street, Room 215 Denver, Colorado 80203 Attn: Janres Dillie, Environmental Protection Specialist RE: Adequacy Concerns, Monarch Quarry Permit Application # M-2000-098 Dear Jim, Division of Minerals and Geology As of this writing I have not received authority from U.S. Lime & Minerals to proceed with the mapping corrections and water concerns. I think it best at this time to request an additional sixty days or until May l8, 2001 for the decision date in this matter.
