On June 12, 2009 the Division of Reclamation, Mining, & Safety (Division) approved the Short
Term dewatering plan (Plan) submitted June 10, 2009 by Asphalt Specialties Co., Inc. (Operator)
for the Speer Resources Pit in partial compliance with the Finding of Fact, Conclusions of Law and

Division concurs that installation of either a temporary drain trench or pipe in the southeast corner
of the property is acceptable.
The Division would like to remind the Operator that the Board Order requires that the installation
of the drain must be implemented by June 26, 2009, which is 30 days from the date of the Board
Order. Please notify us by telephone or email when the excavation starts.
