Secrist, Area Manager Little Snake Resource Area, BLM 1280 Industrial Craig, Colorado 81625 Dear Mr. Secrist, FiE ElVED ~ 2 G 1999 MINED LAND PNONE 24J 1093 RECLAMATION DlVISo;~N /~erni~fA~. 82-/4~/ Re: Moffat Limestone Co.(MQLIME) Junioer Mountain I have your letter of December 13, 1989 in which you inform me of certain procedural irregularities with respect to MOLIME's activities at Juniper Mountain. I regret this and assure you that we will do our best to comply properly and fully with your regulations in the future. The next step, as I understand it, is for MOLIME to either rehabilitate the upgrading measures on our present access road or provide justification to you for the upgrading. Also, we should either rehabilitate some of our existing disturbed areas or file a plan of operations with your office prior to creating further land surface disturbances in excess of five acres. During the past few months MOLIME has received inquiries from UMETCO, MKF, AND Darryl Steele with respect to possible purchase of limestone products from our Juniper Mountain site. These inquiries were our justification for the initial access road, and we now desire to proceed to the actual mine development stages. Actual production could commence as early as May, 1990. The purpose of this letter is not only to acknowledge our responsibilities but also to propose a procedure and time frame for our compliance activities during the period January 1 through May 30, 1990. Hopefully we can establish a better line of communication with your office and prevent a recurrance of the recent misunderstandings. I would appreciate your comment on the following proposed sequence of events by which MOLIME can properly prepare for operations next summer. 1. Submit to the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board (with a copy to your office) an application fora Technical Revision to our present Permit No.82-141. This revision will include additions to the existing quarry site to provide for the mining of rip rap and aggregate grade limestone materials. 2. Submit to the Colorado State Office of the BLM Certificates of Amended Location which will have the effect of relinquishing portions of my placer mining claims. 3. Submit a request to your office fora Materials Sale Contract so that MOLIME can purchase rock products from specific portions of the relinquished areas.
