The purpose of this request is to <br />apply for a technical revision to permit Delta County to change the phase plan so the <br />SW1/4NW1/4 of Section 3 will be the next area Delta County mines in this pit. <br />The State of Colorado MLRB has filed a notice with Delta County that Benson Brothers <br />have applied for a Regular 112 Operation to mine the NW1/4NW1/4 of Section 3, T15S, <br />R95W, 6PM, the 39 acre parcel directly north of the SW1/4NW1/4 of Section 3 that <br />Delta County has permitted. <br />This letter is submitted as a request for a Technical Revision to the mining plan for the <br />Delta County Pig Mesa Pit. We understand there are no standard forms available for <br />submitting a request for a technical revision, that there is no public notice required, and <br />the fee for the request is $188.00. <br />Request for Technical Revision: <br />The revision we are requesting is that the SW1/4NW1/4 of Section 3 be included as a <br />part of Phase 2 of the mining operation; and Delta County be permitted to begin mining <br />this portion of the permitted area immediately. <br />In consideration for this request we offer the following: <br />• Benson Brothers own the surface rights to the SW1/4NW1/4 of Section 3, Delta <br />County owns the mineral rights. <br />• Benson Brothers own the surface rights and the mineral rights to the NW1/4NW1/4 <br />of Section 3. <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />
