Cattany <br />Division Director <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />Re: Vader Pit, Permit M- 1978 -287, Problem Correction (for Inspection Date 9/16/09) and Technical Revision <br />(TR -4) Approval. <br />Dear Mr. Kearl, <br />I have reviewed the information that was sent to me by Mr. Justin Aubert of your office, consisting of a technical <br />revision that is intended to correct a problem found at the above -named permitted site. The technical revision is a <br />weed control plan, prepared or reviewed by the Gunnison -area weed control office. <br />United Companies has provided a copy of its Gunnison- and Crested Butte -area weed control plan. The problem <br />related to presence of noxious weeds, and lack of an effective weed control plan, has been corrected. <br />The details of the plan appear to be sufficient to provide effective control of current and future infestations. Please <br />ensure that its implementation continues to be timely and complete. The technical revision has been approved, and the <br />plan is now part of the permit. At this time there is no bond adjustment associated with including this revision in the <br />permit. <br />Please be reminded that weed control activities that are performed and their results should be reported in the permit <br />annual report. <br />Thank you for the information and the timely correction. If you have any questions, I may be reached at the Division's <br />Durango field office: 691 CR 233, Room A -2, Durango, CO 81301; telephone 970 - 247 -5193. <br />Sincerely, <br />Bob Oswald <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Ec: Steve Shuey, DRMS <br />(c: \09 -12 docs \vader pb con & tr4 appr /rco) <br />Office of. <br />Office of Active and Inactive Mines <br />Mined Land Reclamation Denver •Grand Junction •Durango <br />
