Long <br />Janet Binns Division Director <br />Dan Hernandez <br />From: David Berry <br />Re: Meeting with George Patterson -Raton Creek Mine <br />Yesterday (2/9/00) I met with George Patterson at the Southfield Mine. We specifically discussed <br />the Raton Creek reclamation and Notice of Violation situation. I emphasized to George that we <br />need to resolve the pending reclamation and violation issues at the Raton Creek Mine. I asked if <br />there has been any progress by Energy Fuels to resolve the reclamation plan for the south facing <br />slope which is the subject of both a minor revision and Notice of Violation. <br />George Patterson informed me that he will be meeting with Brian Munson in the next few days to <br />determine the amount of money that EFCI is willing to expend on the project_ <br />George indicated that he has been trying to locate a local source of manure, but has not been <br />successful to date. He indicated that he is still working to locate a local source. <br />George stated that EFCI has retained David Buckner to assist in determining the best possible <br />reclamation plan for the site. <br />George has previously acknowledged to me that the reclamation on the south facing slope needs <br />additional work. <br />I told George that we need to resolve the reclamation plan issues very soon and that the work also <br />needs to occur as soon as possible. I stated that if the plan (MR) can be resolved within the next 2 <br />to 3 weeks, then I would be willing to recommend that the NOV be vacated. I offered that we <br />would be willing to meet with George, Brian Munson and/or Buckner to assist in resolving the <br />issues. <br />
