Walther <br />Executive Director <br />Ronald W. Cattany <br />Acting Division Director <br />Release Request <br />This Office has received documentation for a Technical Revision (TR) for the above referenced permit. <br />The request to add in Phase D is currently under review. In addition to TR-O1 LaFazge has asked for a <br />release of Area A and the Zogg Area. Rule 4.16.1 and 4.16.2 spell out what is required when an <br />operator seeks release from part or all of the reclamation responsibilities. Rule 4.16.1 (3) states that the <br />"written notice requesting release be sent by Certified Mail and be seQazate from all other types of <br />communications to the Office". If it is Lafarge's intent to request a release of part of the permitted azea <br />please refer to these requirements and send the request to the Denver Office. This Office just processed <br />and approved a release request for the Zogg Mine adjacent to this site. Please clazify if the Zogg Mine <br />and Zogg area are one in the same. <br />The request for release has a separate 90 day time frame for notices and approval than does the TR with <br />30 days. This Office will review the TR and reach a decision by Austrst 2"d. 2002 as required. The <br />bond will be recalculated and Lafazge will have 60 days to submit the new bond. If in that time the <br />release request for Area A and the Zogg Area (?) are completed then additional time will be granted to <br />adjust the bond accordingly. <br />If you need additional information, please contact me at the Division of Minerals and Geology, Grand <br />Junction Field Office, 101 S. 3rd St., Suite 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, telephone no. <br />970.241.1117. <br />Since~r~ely~, <br />-~~~--'w~v ~_ _ <br />G.
