Long <br />Drcision Director <br />Re: 32 Road Gravel Pit, Permit No. M-81-229, Possible Temporary Cessation <br />Dear Mr. Kirtland: <br />We recently reviewed the 32 Road Gravel Pit 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 31. Rule 1 .1 3.7 <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 />~ ~ ~. _ <br />Steve S.
