Box 3268 <br />Montrose, Colorado 81}02 <br />Re: Haldorson Pit, (Two Feathers) Permit No. M-2003-037, Technical Revision TR-02, Approval. <br />Dear Mr. Hunt: <br />The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety has reviewed Sky Ute's submission of a Technical <br />Revision to revise the Mine Plan and allow a raw water line to be stubbed into the site. The TR was <br />discussed at length during an on-site visit in late June. The waterline traverses property owned by Sky <br />Ute to the permit boundary and has both mining and post mining uses. Menoken Water has submitted a <br />letter of support and approval for the water use. As for the rephrasing of the planned direction of <br />mining, staff agrees that mining Phase 13 concurrently with B-1, B-2 and 9 is probably more economical <br />and prudent. Therefore, staff is pleased to inform Skv Ute that TR-02 is ap rp owed. <br />Due to the fact that the waterline has no impact on the bond and the mining of Phase 13 is sometime off, <br />staff is electing to forgo a reclamation liability recalculation until the next scheduled inspection. <br />If you need additional information, please contact me at the Division of Minerals and Geology, Grand <br />Junction Field Office, 101 South Third Street, Room 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, telephone <br />no. 970-241-1117. <br />Sincerely, <br />G.
