As a matter of fact, Rule 1.11.2 prohibits the <br />conversion of the Chaparral Pit, which was apparently permitted as <br />a 110 in 1995, to a 112 and to include the adjacent 7.7 acre tract <br />in such a 11z permit area until the permit for the Chaparral Pit <br />has been held by the County for two consecutive years. <br />Operations can be conducted by the County simultaneously in both <br />110 permit areas and across the boundary between them so long as <br />both areas are properly permitted, operations in either permit area <br />must, however, confora^, with the conditions of that perr„it. Should <br />there be a difference in the mining or reclamation plans between <br />the two permit areas that conflicts with the County's intended <br />operational plans, approval of an appropriate modificatio)i of one <br />or the other of the permits should be secured. <br />I hope this letter addresses your concerns. If you have any <br />questions in regard to the above, please contact me or Jim Stevens. <br />Sincerely, <br />H.
