Loye Senior Reclamation Specialist Mined Land Reclamation Division Department of Natural Resources 423 Centennial Building 1313 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203 Dear Mr. Loye: Re: Calon Dolomite Quarry File No. 77-376 This is to notify the Mined Land Reclamation Division of the temporary cessation of mining activities at the Callon Dolo- mite Quarry for an indefinite period of time commencing August 1, 1983 and continuing. Since that time, there have been no employees working at the operation. Also, as of that date, all operating equipment has been removed from the Quarry so as to preclude theft and vandalism. Some additional items including scrap and obsolete equipment are still on site, but will be removed in the near future. On December 27, 1983, CF&I Steel Corporation announced the permanent closure of its blast furnaces, coke plant and oxygen furnaces, This will preclude the need for metallurgical dolomite from the Quarry in the foreseeable future for the Pueblo Plant. Due to this, the property has essentially become surplus to the needs of the Corporation and CFI is exploring its options as to its disposition. At the present time, an appraisal of the property is being performed by an outside contractor in order to determine the best alternatives. Some interest has been shown by several parties in purchasing the property as an operating quarry and CF&I is pursuing this as the preferred course of action. However, if a sale on this basis does not appear to be likely other avenues will be explored,
