Box 700 Michael B.Long <br /> Nucla, Colorado 81424 Dhaloo D,renor <br /> Re: Ike No. 1 Mine, Permit No. M-77_451� Possible Temporary Cessation <br /> Dear Mr. Diss: <br /> We recently reviewed the Ike No. 1 Mine Annual Report. The report indicated that the site has <br /> been, and may continue to be, inactive for at least six months. Please refer to the Construction <br /> Rules and Regulations Sections 1 .13 which state that if an operation ceases production for a period <br /> of 180 days or more, the operator must file a Notice of Temporary Cessation with the Board. This <br /> notice must state the date of cessation, the reasons for cessation, a plan for the resumption of <br /> mining, a description of those activities the operator will take to ensure compliance with the permit <br /> reclamation requirements and a description of site maintenance activities to ensure compliance with <br /> the performance standards (Rule 3). The Notice of Temporary Cessation should be sent to the <br /> Division separate from other correspondence. <br /> As an alternative to temporary cessation, you may submit a Technical Revision to your permit to <br /> indicate that the operation will be intermittently active throughout its life. The technical revision <br /> application must include a description of those activities the operator will undertake to ensure <br /> compliance with the permit reclamation requirements, and a description of the site maintenance <br /> activities which will ensure compliance with the performance standards (Rule 3). Rule 1 .13.7 <br /> addresses this technical revision. <br /> Since the annual report indicated that operations have temporarily ceased, you should submit either <br /> a request for temporary cessation or a technical revision within the next 45 days. If the request <br /> indicates that the site is sufficiently stabilized, we will approve the request for cessation within <br /> sixty days of receipt. If the request indicates that there may be some problems with the site, we <br /> will either request more information from you, or schedule the site for an inspection. If you submit <br /> a technical revision to the permit, we will process it within 30 days. <br /> If you have questions, please do not hesitate to call. <br /> Sincere y, <br /> Steve Shuey <br /> Senior Environmental Sp ei la ist <br />
