Long <br />D'rnsion Director <br />On November 22, 1993 the Division of Minerals and Geology conditionally approved your <br />application for a conversion to a 112 permit for the 8 Mile Clay Mine in Fremont County. The <br />conversation application is approved with the condition that "All existing highwalls must be no <br />greater than 30 feet. Site evidence must demonstrate that all existing highwalls are stable. In <br />the absence of such evidence the operator will amend the mining and reclamation pLLn to <br />guarantee highwall stability." <br />The existing mine plan does not include benching as a technique to achieve highwall stability. If <br />such a technique becomes necessary then the mine plan will need to be amended and the <br />reclamation cost adjusted accordingly. Under the terms of the 112 conversation the maximum <br />allowable disturbance is 20 acres and the reclamation cost has been set at $49,166.00. <br />Therefore, you will need to either replace the existing $2,500.00 financial warranty or supply a <br />rider for an additional $46,666.00. Please submit within 60 days. I have enclosed forms for <br />your use. <br />Please call me at 866-3567 if you have any questions. <br />sincerely, <br />X Thomas A.
