Per House Bill 1161 which was signed into law on <br />May 20, 2008 all uranium mines are now defined as Designated Mining Operations (DMO's). <br />As a result of HB 1161, a review of BlueRock Energy's J-Bird Mine active operational conditions as a uranium <br />mine and other file documents it has been determined that the existing permit, File No. M-2005-050 is a <br />Designated Mining Operation. Therefore, BlueRock Energy is hereby notified that it must submit an <br />Environmental Protection Plan required under Rule 6.4.20 within 180 days of this correspondence which would <br />be February 2nd, 2009. <br />If you need additional information, please contact staff at the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety, Grand <br />Junction Field Office, 101 S. 3rd St., Suite 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, telephone no. 970.241.1117. <br />Sincerely, <br />G.
