The federal government also owns the lands <br />adjacent to the Rocky Flats Pit. The Rocky Flats Project Office is aware that the currently <br />filed Reclamation Plan for the Rocky Flats Pit indicates that the land will be reclaimed by <br />regrading and revegetating the Pit. The DOE has no objection to the current reclamation <br />plan, since that plan is compatible with the Rocky Flats Wildlife Refuge Act of 2001, which <br />converts the Rocky Flats site to a Wildlife Refuge in [he near future. <br />The purpose of this letter is to express the federal government's concern that it receive <br />adequate notice of any proposed change in [he current Reclamation Plan and an opportunity <br />to respond to any proposal to change the current Reclamation Plan. We understand that the <br />Board's rules require such notice; however, by providing this written request for notice, we <br />hope to insure that this requirement is applied to the Permit referenced above. Any proposal <br />to change the Reclamation Plan must be measured against the intent of Congress in creating <br />the Rocky Flats Wildlife Refuge. <br />I request that the Mine Land Reclamation Board either direct the proponent of any proposed <br />change to the Reclamation Plan to notify the DOE of any such filing or provide notice itself. <br />Please send any notice to: John Rampe, Director of Closure Project Management, Rocky <br />Flats Project Office, 12101 Airport Way, Unit A, Broomfield CO 80021. <br />Thank you for your attention to this request. <br /> <br />cc: <br />Centennial Aggregates, Inc. <br />Church Ranch Corporation <br />D.
