BOX 550 <br />/ Rocky Ford, Colorado 81067 <br />/ / r/ <br />Re: Rosman Pit, M-1981-104, Technical Revision, -O5, Approval <br />Deaz Mr. Jones, <br />The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety has review NALGO's request for a TR to the existing <br />mining plan to change the sequence of mine phases. Staff has reviewed Annual Reports and discussed <br />the issue with NALCO representative Ed Stewart. Based on those discussions, it seems prudent to <br />continue mining from Phase 2 into Phase 6 rather than moving into Phase 3. Therefore. staff is pleased <br />to inform NALCO that TR-OS is approved. <br />Due to Division time wnstraints it was not possible to do an inspection of the site to evaluate whether <br />the TR and current conditions warrant any Financial Warranty adjustments by the Decision Date. Staff <br />and Mr. Stewart will set up an inspection in the next 2 weeks and make that assessment at that time. <br />The warranty was updated in late 2005 so staff feels that any current conditions aze accounted for in the <br />short term. <br />If you need additional information, please contact me at the Division of Reclamation, Mining and <br />Safety, Grand Junction Field Office, 101 S. 3rd St., Suite 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, <br />telephone no. 970.241.1117. <br />Sincerely, <br />/J <br />,~,,~, G.
