Third St, Room 301 <br />Grand Junction, Colorado 81501 <br />RE: Follow up to JD-8 and SM-18 Inspections, M - / 11 7$ 11 T em T-- <br />Mr. Means: <br />This letter is written as a follow-up to the DRMS inspections of the JD-8 and SM-18 <br />mine facilities on April 2, 2008. <br />During the inspection at the JD-8 mine facility it was recommended that Cotter <br />Corporation do some stormwater runoff control in the area of the main access road above <br />the mine dump. That work was accomplished in the spring of this year using a front-end <br />loader to re-grade the access road. We are still re-building our road grader, and once that <br />is finished we plan to re-grade the road using the grader. <br />During the site inspection at the SM-18 mine it was recommended that we take some <br />steps to prevent public access onto the mine dump and the mine office areas, and do some <br />maintenance work on the ore catchment runoff area and the diversion ditch west of the <br />mine dump. This summer a berm was placed across the access points to the mine dump <br />area, and a cable was placed across the access to the mine office area. The ore catchment <br />area and the diversion ditch around the mine dump were maintained using a skid-steer <br />loader this spring, but will require a little more work in the near future. <br />If you have further questions regarding these issues, please call me at Cotter's Nucla <br />office, 970-864-7347. <br />Respectfully, <br />C? 4-e?-? <br />Glen Williams <br />Manager of Mining <br />Cotter Corporation <br />Cotter'Co?`pora ion0- West Slope Operations - 1 Telephone (970) 864-7347 <br />P.O.
