Mott <br />Star Route <br />Maher, Colorado 81421 <br />Re: Mott Gravel Pit, Temporary Cessation (File M-80-049) <br />Dear Mr. Mott: <br />We have recently reviewed the Mott Gravel Pit Annual Report. The report indicates <br />that the site has been, and may continue to be, inactive for at least six months. <br />Please refer to the Minerals Rules and Regulations Sections 1,6.2 and 1.6.2(2)(a) <br />which state that if an operation ceases production fora period of 180 days or <br />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 <br />resumption of mining, a description of those activities the operator will take to <br />ensure compliance with the permit reclamation requirements and a description of <br />site maintenance activities to ensure compliance with the performance standards <br />(Rule 6). The Notice of Temporary Cessation should be sent to the Division <br />separate from other correspondence. <br />As an alternative to temporary cessation, you may amend your permit to indicate <br />that the operation will be intermittently active throughout its life. The <br />amendment application must include a description of those activities the operator <br />will undertake to ensure compliance with the permit reclamation requirements, and <br />description of the site maintenance activities which will ensure compliance with <br />the performance standards (Rule 6). Rule 1.6.2.(2)(d) addresses this amendment. <br />Since the annual report indicates that operations have temporarily ceased, you <br />should submit either a request for temporary cessation or a permit amendment within <br />the next 45 days. If the request indicates that the site is sufficiently <br />stabilized, we will approve the reouest for cessation within sixty days. If the <br />reg.uest indicates-that there may be some problems with the site, we will either <br />request more information from you, or schedule the site for an inspection. If you <br />submit an amendment to the permit, we will process it within 30 to 90 days for 110 <br />and 112 operations, respectively. <br />If you have questions or comments, please contact me. <br />Since rely, <br />? ,,, - , <br />Steven G. Renner <br />Senior Reclamation Specialist <br />SGR/bdc <br />4362E <br />
