Sherman <br />Executive Director <br />Ronald W. Cattany <br />Division Director <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />The Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety (DRMS) has finished the review of United / Old Castle's <br />request for a technical revision to the above referenced permitted site. Overall the responses clarify <br />issues noted in the review. It now appears that all issues have been addressed or clarified. Therefore <br />TR-03 to change the mine and reclamation plans from mining multiple cells to a single cell is approved. <br />The TR will become affective when the surety increase up to $377,400.00 is accepted by the Denver <br />Office. <br />Presently the information supplied to DRMS notes approximately 18 acre feet in an approved <br />augmentation plan of the Casey Pit. This appears to be a deficit of approximately 4 acre feet. This <br />deficit may be covered with the Chambers Pit plan if the wall between them is mined out as previously <br />planned. DRMS accepts United / Old Castle's assurance that no groundwater will be exposed beyond <br />losses already accounted for unless a new TSSP or modification is in place. <br />If you need additional information please contact me at the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety, <br />Grand Junction Field Office, 101 S. 3rd St., Suite 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, or by telephone <br />no. 970.241.1117. <br />Sincerely, <br />w ?
