Cattany <br />Division Director <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />The Division of Minerals and Geology has reviewed Sky Ute's submission of a Technical Revision to <br />include the Concrete Batch Plant as a permanent structure. The submission of the TR was in response to <br />the issue being raised during the June 19th, 2006 inspection of the site. At that time it was noted that <br />permanent concrete pylons had been constructed for the batch plant. The details of the construction of <br />the site and structure are adequate. Therefore, staff is pleased to inform Sky Ute that TR-O1 is approved. <br />A review of the Reclamation Liability was done in late 2004. Based on current conditions, staff feels <br />that an adjustment to the bond' is not warranted at this time. The additional tasks of removing the pylons <br />and disposing of them is less than what is approved for overall disturbance of the site to date. Staff may <br />adjust the bond after the next inspection. <br />If you need additional information, please contact me at the Division of Minerals and Geology, Grand <br />Junction Field Office, 101 South Third Street, Room 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, telephone <br />no. 970-241-1117. <br />Sincerely, <br />G.
