BOX 1877 <br />Rifle, Colorado 81650 <br />r/ / <br />Re: West Rifle Pit, Permit No. M-1981-006, New Map Request. <br />Dear Mr. Lee: <br />The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety approved a Technical Revision to the Mining Plan in <br />August of 2006 for the above referenced site. A review of the Reclamation Liability is due both as a <br />regular update and also to reflect the changes approved in August. Staff has begun Reclamation <br />Liability Update and discovered some issues in accurate information. As you are aware, maps for this <br />site and the 111 c, M-1995-018 are outdated. Trying to gauge what is considered part of the I 1 l and the <br />112 is very convoluted at best and makes gathering accurate information from them very difficult. <br />Therefore, the Division is requesting that Central Aggregates please have new maps prepared that <br />clearly show the permit boundaries, current disturbed areas and future excavation plans for both sites. <br />Staff realizes that Central Aggregates will incur some costs to have the maps done, but the information <br />will help the Division accurately assess the reclamation liability which could mean savings in the long <br />run. Please submit the maps by February 1st, 2007 or contact staff if it appears that the maps cannot be <br />prepared by then so a better date can be established. Your help and understanding are greatly <br />appreciated. <br />If you need additional information, please contact me at the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />Grand Junction Field Office, 101 South Third Street, Room 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, <br />telephone no. 970-241-1117. <br />Sincerely, <br />G.
