Cattany <br />Division Director <br /> Natural Resource Trustee <br />RE: Red Cliff Mine, Permit Application No. C-2008-086 <br />Dear Mr. Stover: <br />CAM-Colorado LLC has requested an extension to the Red Cliff Mine application decision <br />deadline from July 15, 2009 to August 31, 2010. The extension has been requested due to delays <br />with the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) and the possibility of a supplemental <br />DEIS. A decision regarding the need for a SDEIS will be made by the Bureau of Land <br />Management (BLM) within the next couple of weeks. <br />The Division will grant an extension to the decision deadline until August 31, 2009. At that time <br />the need for whether or not a SDEIS is necessary will be known and the Division may consider <br />extending the decision deadline to coincide with the timing of a Record of Decision (ROD). <br />A further extension will be considered if CAM does not revise the plans presented in the <br />application submitted on June 23, 2008 and provides a date by which they plan to respond to the <br />Division's preliminary adequacy review and transmittal of comments correspondence dated <br />August 29, 2008, September 9, 2008, February 2, 2009 and April 9, 2009. If CAM elects to <br />revise the plans submitted in the original application, it will be necessary to withdraw it and <br />resubmit a new permit application. <br />Please contact me if you have any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />L <br />Sandra L.
