Cattany <br />Division Director <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />~~~ ~ <br />Re: Anderson Pit, M-2005-fib Response to Request for Clarification of Temporary Storage <br />Structures Technical Revisions. <br />Dear Mr. Kerr, <br />The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety has received United /Old Castle SW request for <br />clarification on the need to submit a Technical Revision (TR) for the placement of temporary storage <br />structures for processed materials. Staff as a matter of internal policy does not included temporary <br />structures such as those noted in the January 24, 2008 correspondence as structures that need to be <br />addressed through a TR. Since the concrete blocks are readily movable and have some salvage credit or <br />value there is no need to include them in any reclamation bonding. If the structures been a poured <br />concrete, then tasks for demolition would have been required and a TR necessary. This general policy <br />applies at any permitted site not just the Anderson Pit. <br />Thank you for checking with the Division on this matter. Staff prefers to be proactive and address <br />unclear subjects so that issues do not arise at a later date. <br />If you need additional information, please contact me at the Division of Reclamation, Mining and <br />Safety, Grand Junction Field Office, 101 S. 3rd St., Suite 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, <br />telephone no. 970.241.1117. <br />Sincerely, <br />.~ <br />G.
