<br />~LAFARG E <br />NORTH AMERICA <br />Construction Materials <br />August 19, 2003 <br />RECEIVED <br />AUG 1 9 2003 <br />Ms. Erica Crosby Division ~f Minerals and Geology <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Division of Minerals and Geology <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />RE: McCoy Pit, Permit No. M-1981-088 -Request for Time Extension <br />Dear Ms. Crosby: <br />In response to your inspection report dated June 10, 2003, Lafarge West, Inc. (Lafarge) would <br />like to request an extension of the September 1, 2003 deadline for correction of your noted <br />problem issue. As you are aware any changes to the reclamation plan will also have to be <br />reviewed and approved by the State Land Boazd. We will not be able to complete the revised <br />mine plan and reclamation plan by September 1, 2003 and also secure the approval of the State <br />Land Board. We are requesting that the deadline be December 30, 2003 for our work. This <br />request is based on the following schedule: <br />1) We have requested bids from three contactors to complete a new topographic map o£ <br />the mine that reflects the current conditions. Due to the age of this site, no good <br />topographic base exists which will allow Lafarge to complete the revised plans with <br />completing a new survey. The revised topographic maps aze to be completed by the end <br />of September 2003. <br />2) In conjunction with the placement of the control panels for the topographic mapping, <br />Lafarge will have the permit boundary surveyed and place the required markers along <br />this perimeter. <br />3) Upon completion of the revised topographic map, Lafarge will prepare a new mine and <br />reclamation plan for the site. We anticipate completing this work by the third week of <br />October. The revised plans will then be submitted to the State Land Board for review. <br />Allowing the State Land Board time for review, discussions, potential changes, and <br />approval of the final plan we believe we will be at or near Thanksgiving in late <br />November. <br />Western U.S. Region <br />1400 W. 64th Ave., P.O.
