1.0 INTRODUCTION <br />Lafarge West, Inc. (Lafarge or applicant) is applying to amend its Regular (112) <br />Reclamation Permit number M-1981-088 to reflect the changes in the final mine plan and <br />reclamation plan for the McCoy Pit site in Routt County Colorado. The proposed changes aze a <br />result of changes in mazket conditions that have rendered a portion of the material to be mined <br />un-economic. The existing mine plan envisaged mining all of the cinder cone to an <br />approximately flat elevation of 7700 feet above mean sea level, however, as stated not all of the <br />material that is currently mined and processed is salable. Therefore, Lafazge is proposing to <br />amend the current permit to reflect the changes that are a result of the mazket conditions. This <br />change does not impact the size or shape of the exiting permit boundary. The method of mining, <br />processing, and reclamation will be the same as described in the existing permit. <br />
