SALT CREEK MINING COMPANY <br />P.O. Box 70 <br />Loma, Colorado 8 1 5 24-0070 <br />(303) 858-3608 <br />September 30, 1991 <br />Susan L. Morrison <br />Colorado Mined Land Reclamation <br />1313 Sherman 5t. Room 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203-2273 <br />RE: McClane Canyon Mine; C-004-BO <br />Technical Revision <br />Dear Ms. Morrison; <br />III IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII <br />999 <br />~~ <br />OCT 0 2 1991 <br />Mined Land <br />Reclamation Division <br />Enclosed is a revised Figure 1.1-2 that depicts the incidental <br />boundary change that we discussed last week. The additional area <br />to be included in the permit boundary will allow Salt Creek to <br />mine an area east of the McClane Fault. This revision would <br />follow the same projections as shown on Figure 2.1-1. The <br />expansion is necessary to allow for continued production while the <br />technical revision that was submitted in June of this year is <br />finalized. <br />Salt Creek anticipates that production from this area could begin <br />as soon as the middle of October. Unfortunately, the permitted <br />mining area is being extracted faster than anticipated. Salt <br />Creek could gain minor amounts of production from the current area <br />by splitting pillars but could destabilize the strata in the mine <br />and lead to safety and resource recovery problems in the future. <br />The Bureau of Land Management has been consulted about the <br />necessary revision; as well as, the short time frame that is <br />necessary for approval. If there are questions or if I can be of <br />assistance, please call. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~~~~ <br />John M. Walters <br />Manager of Mine Services <br />CC: Federal Agency Mailing List <br />
