The Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety (DRMS) has finished the review of the Monogram Mine conversion
application from a 110(2) to a 112d(1) Designated Mining Operation. A DRMS staff team reviewed the application to
ensure that the Monogram Mine mining and reclamation plans meet the minimum requirements of the Act and Rules in
regard to Designated Mining Operation classification. Through the review process Nuvemco appears to have clarified
and corrected all issues noted by the review team. Therefore, DRMS is pleased to inform Nuvemco and O&G
Environmental that the conversion application is approved.
Nuvemco has accepted the reclamation liability estimate of $46,450.00. In order for the conversion to become active
Nuvemco must post a bond in that amount or a rider to the existing bond of $3,105.00. The bond documents should be
sent to the Denver Office, Attention: Elizabeth Taliaferro. Any questions regarding the bond should be directed to Miss
Taliaferro at 303.866.3567, Ext. 8148.
As a reminder all stormwater structures within areas of immediate anticipated activity must be constructed prior to any
other disturbances. A change from a five foot to an eight foot fence around the retention pond is noted. DRMS staff
should be notified 10 days ahead of any construction on site so that QA/QC inspections, if deemed necessary, can be
scheduled. Nuvemco has also deferred the design of the stormwater containment structure for the ore bin structure.
The structure cannot be built until a Technical Revision is approved at a later date and no ore is permitted to be stored
in the area until approval of the structure.
Sincerely,
i?
