Caltany <br />Division Director <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety received your correspondence regarding possible off site <br />impacts to your property in Craig, Colorado due to activities at the above referenced permitted site. The <br />Division noted that it would do an inspection as soon as possible, but clearly did not set March 1 s`, 2007 as <br />the date for the inspection. Weather and ground conditions prevented the Division from inspecting the site <br />to determine the scope of the impacts until mid-March. Please except my apologies for not getting back to <br />you and any miscommunication on the inspection date. <br />The operator has responded to staff concerning this issue. It appears to involve several parties including <br />another permitted site adjacent to the Deacon Pit. Staff will be setting up an inspection that will require <br />other staff members. The Division then can review the entire situation and come up with a plan to mitigate <br />your concerns as well as others. The Division would like to invite you to attend a meeting with staffat your <br />property. Please contact me at your earliest convenience so that we can meet to discuss your issues on site. I <br />will then set up a meeting with 3B Enterprises and others to discuss the situation. Staff feels that a solution <br />involving all parties will better serve everyone concerned. <br />If you need additional information, please contact me at the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety, <br />Grand.Junction Field Office, 101 S. 3rd St., Suite 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 8 ] 501, telephone no. <br />970.241.1117. <br />Sincerely, <br />c/~' L%~- <br />G.
