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 Dleased <br />to inform NALCO that TR-OS is annroved. <br />Due to Division time constraints 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 are 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 />~./~- ~' <br />G.
