~~~~ STATE OF COLORADO <br />Roy Romer, Governor <br />DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES <br />COLORADO DIVISION OF MINES <br />1313 Sherman Street, Denver, Colorado 80203 866-3401 <br />Mr. Greg Lewicki <br />Greg Lewicki and Associates <br />1645 Court Place <br />Suite 309 <br />Denver, Colorado 80202 <br />Dear Mr. Lewicki: <br />Division of Mines records indicate the first recorded inspection of the Fruita <br />/1 Mine occurred on Nay 18, 1978. The record indicates siting of explosive <br />magazines prior to the start of portal driving. Ae you are aware extensive <br />bench and road development work preceded portal construction. In the early <br />eighties I served as supervising engineer for project development, discussions <br />at that time indicated a 1976 surface construction schedule. Considering the <br />volume of rock excavated from the bench and road, the timing is not <br />unrealistic. <br />Sincerely: <br />/~/ '.. <br />-~~ J.W. Nugent <br />~~ Director of Safety and Training <br />
