Re: Last Chance Mine, File No. M-2008-012, Amendment (AM-01) 112d(1), Designated Mining
Operation Application, Decision Date Approaching.
Dear Mr. Carter:
The Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety (DRMS) received Nuvemco's amendment / conversion to the
application of the above referenced 110(2) application on April 13, 2009. The application is now for a 112d
(1) permit. Nuvemco requested that the decision date be extended to February 1, 2010 due to unforeseen
economic circumstances. DRMS accepted the request with the understanding that should conditions improve
prior to that date Nuvemco would be submitting updated information with a request to proceed with the review.
Staff notes the decision date is near and has not received any correspondence in regard to the permit since the
extension was granted in July. At this point Division staff would be unlikely be able to review the amendment
and responses submitted in regard to the amendment which includes an Environmental Protection Plan. The
Division is requesting Nuvemco extend the decision date until April 15, 2010. Please be aware that per Rule
1.4.1(9) the application process must be completed within 365 days of being called complete or it shall be
scheduled for a review by the Mined Land Reclamation Board. The 365 day limit is April 15, 2010.
To ensure that a Board hearing does not occur, DRMS must have any updated information in hand no later than
February 12, 2010. A review of the application will be done in mid-February and responses will be required by
March 19th. A cursory review of the application notes no proof of publication. Please provide the proof of
publication as required by Rule 1.6 (1) (d) as soon as possible. If Nuvemco cannot meet these deadlines or
failed to do the required public notice, the Division suggests the applicant withdrawal the application and re-
submits later when other factors improve.
If you need additional information, please contact me at the Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety,
Grand Junction Field Office, 101 S. 3rd St., Suite 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, telephone no.
970.241.1117.
Sincerely,
G. Russell Means
