III IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII 9~ PUBLIC NOTICE MINREC, INC., 2768 Compass Drive, Suite 101, Grand Junction, CO 81506, has submitted an application for a technical revision to the Division of Minerals and Geology for its North Thompson Creek Mines, mining permit No. C-81-025, issued August 16, 1988. The revision is being requested for approximately 29 acres known as the Diamond-A Parcel, which is part of the unit train loadout facility connected with the North Thompson Creek Mine Site. The proposed revision will remove the Diamond-A Parcel from the Permit Area. The Diamond-A Parcel is located in Garfield County in that portion of the Permit Area located north and east of the center of the Roaring Fork River in Township 7 South, Range 88 West, 6th Prime Meridian, Section 20, Lots 10, 11, 12, 15 and 16, and Section 29, Lots 2, 3 and 4. This area can be located on the U.S.G.S. 7.5 minute Carbondale, Colorado quadrangle map. The mine site and unit train loadout were contoured and vegetated during 1987. Vegetation studies performed during 1991 and 1992 have demonstrated the vegetation on the reclaimed mine site and unit train loadout has been successfully established in accordance with the approved reclamation plan. All reclamation obligations with respect to the Diamond-A Parcel were deemed satisfied upon the removal in June 1992 of two concrete footers located on the east bank of the Roaring Fork River. In addition, the Division in July 1992 approved a change in post-mining land use for the Diamond-A Parcel from "agricultural" to "residential" and "industrial." MINREC has submitted an application with the Division for a partial bond release for the Permit Area, which will be a full and final release of that portion of the total bond attributable to the Diamond-A Parcel. Following this release from liability, no further performance standards shall apply to the Diamond-A Parcel. Copies of the proposed revision are available for public inspection at the Garfield County Clerk and Recorder's Office, Garfield County Courthouse, Glenwood Springs, Colorado and at the offices of the Division. Written comments or objections to the proposed revision may be submitted to and additional information obtained from the Division of Minerals and Geology, 1313 Sherman St., Room 215, Denver, CO 80203-2273, phone (303) 866-3567.
