Dear Mr. Tuttle:

Bill Owens

Greg E. Walther
Executive Director
Ronald W. Cattany
Acting Division Director
The Division of Minerals and Geology has received [he reclamation bond in the proper amount as described in our
application approval letter of July 14, 2000 sent [o Mr. John Hickman and copied to Mr. Duane Bollig and Ms. Pam Acre of
Applegate Group.
This bond instrument was received more than one yeaz after initial approval of this application. Therefore, the Division of
Minerals and Geology (DMG) has scheduled this matter before the Mined Land Reclamation Boazd to reconsider the
previous approval as required by Rule 4.1(2).
In 1991 the Mined Land Reclamation Boazd instructed DMG that all operators who had not posted bond within one year of
application approval would be required to republish and renotify surrounding landowners and owners of structures within 200
fee[ of [he affected land and undergo a new term of public comment regarding the application. DMG has no evidence that the
operator has done this. Therefore, at the December 11-12, 2002 Board meeting we will recommend that the Board either
deny [he permit application a[ [ha[ time or require LaFazge Wes[, Inc. to go through the notification and public review process
prior to DMG issuing the permit.
If you choose to publish, notify surrounding landowners and undergo a new term of public comment, please notify [he DMG
immediately and we will reconsider our recommendation to the Board and delay the Boazd hearing date until the application
procedures are completed.
A Formal Public Heazing will be held during the December 11-12, 2002 Boazd meeting for consideration of this application.
The heazing will be held in Room 318 of 1313 Sherman Street, Denver, Colorado, beginning at 10:00 a. m. on the fast day
and 9:00 a.m. on subsequent days. At [hat heazing you will have the opportunity to be represented and heard.
If you have any questions, please contact Car] B. Mount
