Cattany <br />Division Director <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety has reviewed United's submission of a Technical <br />Revision to eliminate the earthen bamer between the Chambers Pit and the Casey Concrete Pit Permit <br />Number M-1978-349. The Division sees no problem with the revision as it will simply create one larger <br />lake rather than the 2 now proposed. However, the one question that needs to be addressed is whether <br />the Augmentation or Well Permit has sufficient leeway to cover the exposure of the additional water <br />where the land bridge existed. Please submit documentation that either shows there currently is enough <br />water in the plan to cover the change or if there is a shortage, that appropriate measures have been <br />applied for to correct them. <br />If you need additional information, please contact me at the Division of Reclamation, Mining and <br />Safety, Grand Junction Field Office, 101 South Third Street, Room 301, Grand Junction, Colorado <br />81501, telephone no. 970-241-1117. <br />Sincerely, ~,,~~,~ <br />G.
