The Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining & Safety (DBMS) has reviewed the
Responses to Preliminary Adequacy Review-O1 for Sundance Resources Regulaz 112
Permit Application, dated February 20, 2007, for Lafazge West, Incorpora[ed's (Lafazge)
Sundance Sand and Gravel Resource property in EI Paso County. Following a request
for extension submitted to DBMS on 2 Januazy 2007, the revised decision date for this
application is 2 Mazch 2007. With the exceptions described below, DBMS accepts the
applicant's responses to our Preliminary Adequacy Review-O1. DBMS is unable to
approve the application until these exceptions have been satisfactorily addressed.
On the basis of phone conversations with you and Mazk Vigil of LaFarge the week of 26
February 2007, it is unlikely that LaFazge will be able to meet these conditions by the
new 2 Mazch 2007 decision date, therefore DBMS recommends that LaFarge file a
request for extension of the decision date.
Rule 6.4.3 Exhibit C -Pre-Mining and Mining Plan Map(sl of Affected Lands
Exhibit C-I :Pre-Mine Plan Map shows an on/gas well within the proposed permit
boundary. A permit number is shown and the well is stated to be abandoned. However,
under the General Notes, a less convincing statement is made that the well is "believed to
be abandoned or subject to leases under control of the land owner." Please provide
assurance that LaFarge has reseazched this well and is certain that it is indeed abandoned
or subject to leases under control of the land owner. This information can be obtained
from the Colorado Oil & Gas Conservation Commission.
