While GCC Rio Grande is scheduled to <br />provide the Division and the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board with detailed written and <br />oral annual project updates in the coming weeks, we are writing separately at this time to inform <br />the Division that A&A Drilling & Blasting Inc. will be conducting limited, construction-related <br />blasting at GCC's Pueblo County site. All blasting materials will be utilized in connection with <br />project construction activities, and not for cement manufacturing. Blasting for construction <br />purposes will continue intermittently through the end of this year. <br />Copies of all pertinent federal and state permits maintained by A&A Drilling & Blasting, <br />Inc. are attached. GCC Rio Grande expects this limited, construction-related blasting effort to <br />- conform to all state and federal requirements, including all pertinent aspects of the Blasting Plan <br />GCC developed in connection with its state reclamation permit. GCC will separately notify the <br />Division when blasting for general mining and cement manufacturing purposes commences later <br />next year. <br />Please let me know if the Division has any questions or would like to discuss this further. <br />Sincerely, ~~ QQDD <br />~J~ <br />Brian McGill <br />DN32117706.5 <br />
