:,~ ~__. _- III IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII ' ~~ 999 Mr, Edward Bischoff Senior Reclamation Specialist ~!ined Land Reclamation Division 423 Centennial Bldg., 1313 Sherman St. Denver, CO 80203 Dear Fir. Bischoff: EXHIBIT .'.6 Curtis L. Miller 1507 Park Ave. Canon City, CO 81212 11 April 1984 On 23 March 1984, the Mined Land Reclamation Board voted to request GEC Minerals Inc. to submit a report on it's compliance with the MLRD staff recommendations and a timetable for reclamation of its mined lands. On 23 March 1984 a meeting was held with the staff to collect the latest approved maps and survey information. At that meeting, it was suggested by the staff that reclamation of the West Pit take precedence in GEC's activities, and be undertaken first in order to take best advantage of GEC's reduced capabilities. On 28 March 1984, a further meeting with the staff was held on the 4lest Pit site to discuss methods ar.d to aquaint all parties with site conditions. At this time, I would like to report the following compliance with the staff rec- ommendations: GEC, under previous arrangements, is proceeding with the clean out of sedimentation ponds "A", "B", "B "', and "C". This work should be completed by 20 April 1984, weather permitting. Restoration of spillways and Bullied areas could be completed the week after, weather permitting. As requested, a gate has been installed at the enterance of the mine haul road. GEC Minerals Inc. is commited to complete reclamation of its mined areas as soon as it it financially able to do so. GEC management expects funding to become available in October 1984 at the rate of approximately 55,000 to $10,000 per month. At that time, reclamation of the West Pit will be started as requested by the MLRD staff and as outlined in GEC's Mining and Reclamation plan embodied in permit No. CO-037-81. Negotiations with Dorchester Coal Company are ongoing concerning the placement of Dorchester coal preperation waste in the East Pit and possible leasing of the GEC tipple area and main haul road and assunption of the tipple and haul road bonding.
