Vanderpool <br />Umetco Minerals Corporation <br />Box 767 <br />Nucla, Colorado 81424 <br />Re: Umetco Minerals Corporation's New Verde t4ine - File No. M-77-~92, Burros <br />Mine File No. M-77-297, and Urantha Mine File No. M-78-286HR -Permit <br />Status -Possible Temporary Cessation <br />Dear Mr. Vanderpool: <br />We recently received the above mentioned mining operations ;4n nu al Reports. <br />The reports indicated that there has not been ariy production at these sites <br />for approximately one year. The reports did not indicate if there had been <br />any reclamation done in the past year at any of these sites and thfay did not <br />specifiy Umetco Minerals future production and reclamation intent 1`or the <br />1990-91 mining season. Please refer to the Minerals Rules and Regulations <br />Sections 1.6.2 and 1.6.2(2)(a) which state that if an operation curses <br />production fora period of 180 days or more, the operator must files a Notice <br />of Temporary Cessation with the Board. This notice must state the date of <br />cessation, the reasons for cessation, a plan for the resumption of mining, a <br />description of those activities the operator will take to ensure compliance <br />with the permit reclamation requirements and a description of site maintenance <br />activities to ensure compliance with the performance standards (Rule 6). The <br />Notices of Temporary Cessation may be sent in the same envelope to the <br />Division but separate from other correspondence. <br />As an alternative to temporary cessation, you may wish to amend each permit to <br />indicate that these operations will be intermittently active throughout their <br />life. The amendment applications must include a description of those <br />activities the operator will undertake to ensure compliance with the permit <br />reclamation requirements, and a description of the site maintenance activities <br />which will ensure compliance with the performance standards (Rule E). Rule <br />1.6.2(2)(d) addresses this amendment. <br />
