O'BRIAN PRESIDENT May 16, 1997 Mr. Thomas Schreiner Division of Minerals and Geology Minerals Section - South 1313 Sherman St. RM 215 Denver, CO 80203 Dear Tom; RE: Siloam Stone Muller Pit, M-97-018 Reclamation Plan 7985 VANCE DRIVE, SUITE 205A ARVADA, COLORADO 80003 303323-7297 R' RECEIVED MAY 1.61981 pivlsion or Minerals & Geology On behalf of our Client Siloam Stone I am submitting this letter to clarify what Siloam Stone will do to resolve the Cease and Desist order issued by the Mined Land Reclamation Board on March 26, 1997. Part of the plan will involve reclaiming certain areas as described below, having the board reconsider their ruling on part of the area (stone yard) and including the rest of the area in question into a permit so mining can continue. I have used the map supplied by Adience, Inc. as a basis for the attached map. This map misrepresented the existing permit boundary. Review of the file and comparing the original maps with our map will show we have the correct outline. I then qualified the areas of actual disturbance outside the original permit boundary instead of blocking in the areas between where Siloam disturbed and the pre law disturbances. This dramatically reduces the amount of area Siloam is responsible for reclaiming and better reflects what activities that took place at the site. Review of my map shows that Siloam Stone was actually responsible for disturbing 7.71 acres ± outside the permitted area and operated a Stone Yard covering another 2.26 acres ±. I believe the area shown on the map are very generous and if we had more time to research aerial photos of the site we would find the actual disturbed areas are less than shown. In the following text I will discuss how Siloam Stone will address and deal with each area of disturbance shown on the map.
