On September 21, 2004, the Division denied this <br />request on the basis that the "reclamation had not been accomplished on these areas..." <br />Continental Materials Corporation and Transit Mix of Pueblo, the latter being the actual operator <br />o:f the pit and a wholly owned subsidiazy of Continental Materials Corporation, wishes to request <br />an appeal of that denial. Included with this mailing is information that describes the basis for this <br />appeal request. The documents detail the arrangements between the new landowner, Colorado <br />State Parks, and us. Note that Parks requires a number of items be completed prior to <br />consideration of release by DMG and other tasks that will be ongoing, under the supervision and <br />direction of Pazks, until May 4, 2006. This especially applies to weed control. Essentially, it is <br />our belief that with the agreements in place that property being managed by a State agency <br />release is a safe action that can be taken by the Mined Land Reclamation Board. <br />If you have any questions regarding the site or the materials included in this release request, <br />please call. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />l 1 - <br />Gerald Hermans <br />Vice President <br />P.0.
