The company <br />address is 131 1 Bentwood Drive, Evansville, Indiana 47711. The permit area is located on 4133 <br />acres of private land approximately 7 miles northwest of Weston, Colorado at an elevation of 6850 <br />MSL in Section 25, T33S, R68W. Mine disturbance including the facilities areas, sediment control <br />system, and ancillary facilities occupy approximately 145 acres. Several small areas of disturbance <br />have been reclaimed over the past 20 years including three bench faces of the RDA, out slopes of <br />the Development Waste Pile, areas along Highway 12, and areas of the West Portal. <br />Due to the temporary cessation of operations at the mine, facilities maintenance has focused on the <br />sediment control system and repair of erosion damage at the RDA. No reclamation activities were <br />conducted at the facilities area. The shaft locations in Apache Canyon were reclaimed and pending <br />approval of the post mining topography currently being reviewed by the Division for TR-41 -Mid <br />Term Review, these sites will be seeded in the spring of 1998. <br />Should you have questions or need additional information concerning these request, please do not <br />hesitate to let me know. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~ `~~ <br />Jerry H.
