Re: Beaver Brothers, Inc., Moon Pit No. 2 Pit, File M-77-443, Possible Temporary
Cessation
Dear Mr. Peck:
We recently reviewed the Moon Pit No. 2 Pit Annual Report that you sent in on
behalf of Beaver Brothers, Inc. and the Moffat County State Bank. The report
indicated that the site has been inactive for at least six months. Please refer to
the Minerals Rules and Regulations Sections 1.6.2 and 1.6.2(2)(a) which state that
if an operation ceases production for a period of 180 days or more, the operator
must file a Notice of Temporary Cessation with the Board. This notice Host state
the date of cessation, the reasons for cessation, a plan for the resumption of
mining, a description of those activities the operator will take to ensure
compliance with the permit reclamation requirements and a description of site
maintenance activities to ensure compliance with the performance standards (Rule
6). The Notice of Temporary Cessation should be sent to the Division separate from
other correspondence.
As an alternative to temporary cessation, you may amend your permit to indicate
that the operation will be intermittently active throughout its life. The
amendment application must include a description of those activities the operator
will undertake to ensure compliance with the permit reclamation requirements, and
description of the site maintenance activities which will ensure compliance with
the performance standards (Rule 6). Rule 1.6.2 (2)(d) addresses this amendment.
Since the annual report indicated that operations have temporarily ceased, you
should submit either a request for temporary cessation or a permit amendment within
the next 45 days. If the request indicates that the site is sufficiently
stabilized, we will approve the request for cessation within sixty d,~ys. If the
request indicates that there may be some problems with the site, we will either
request more information from you, or schedule the site for an inspet:tion. If you
submit an amendment to the permit, we will process it within 30 to 90 days for 110
and 112 operations, respectively.
If you have questions, please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely, ,
~,
