Cattany <br /> Division Director <br /> Natural Resource Trustee <br />Grand Junction,/Colorado 81502 / <br />Re: Chambers Pit, Permit No. M-1979-075, Technical Revision TR-02, Approval. <br />Dear Mr. Kerr: <br />The Division of Minerals and Geology has reviewed United's submission of a Technical Revision to use <br />the existing haul road within the Chambers Pit permit area as a temporary haul road from the Glen Pit to <br />the plant facilities at the Chambers Gravel Pit, Permit No. M-1979-205. Staff understands that the <br />requested TR is in response to the length of time estimated by the railroad to build the permanent <br />crossing as originally planned. <br />Since the road in essence already exists, no adjustment to the reclamation bond is necessary at this time. <br />However, reclamation tasks will need to be accomplished when the temporary use is complete or other <br />revisions are made if it becomes a permanent arrangement. Therefore, staff is pleased to inform United <br />that TR-02 is approved. <br />If you need additional information, please contact me at the Division of Reclamation, Mining and <br />Safety, Grand Junction Field Office, 101 South Third Street, Room 301, Grand Junction, Colorado <br />81501, telephone no. 970-241-1117. <br />Sincerely, <br />G. Russell Means /' <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Office of Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Active and Inactive Mines <br />
