Re: Pete Lien and Sons, Inc., Weaver Quarry, File No. M-1989-010, Temporary Cessation Request
Dear Ms. Erickson:
On January 29, 2009 the Division approved your request for Temporary Cessation status for the Weaver Quarry.
Please be aware that Section 1.13.5(1)(a) of the Construction Materials Rules and Regulations and the
Hard Rock/Metal Mining Rules and Regulations state that "Initial period shall be the first five years of Temporary
Cessation beginning with the 180 day period of production cessation. "
Rules 1. 13.8 and 1. 13.9 state that:
1.13.8 A permit granted pursuant to Rules shall continue in effect as long as:
(a) the mining operation is resumed within five (5) years of the beginning of Temporary Cessation;
or
(b) the Operator files a report requesting an extension of the period of Temporary Cessation with the
Board stating the reasons for the continuation of those factors necessary to, and the plans for, resumption.
1.13.9 Ten Year Limitation for Temporary Cessation
In no case shall Temporary Cessation be continued for more than ten (10) years without terminating the
mining operation and fully complying with the Reclamation and Environmental Protection Plan requirements
of the Act and these Rules.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Division.
Sincerely,
