Items 1 and 4 have been addressed and items 2 and 3 remain to be <br />completed. Item # 2 requires Cotter to reinitiate mine dewatering and water discharge <br />treatment by no later than August 31, 2010. Plans for addressing this corrective action must be <br />submitted as a technical revision to the permit by August 23, 2010. The revision must then be <br />reviewed and approved by the Division prior to implementation at the mine site. This review <br />will also include calculation of a new financial warranty (corrective action # 3) that must be <br />posted prior to implementation as well. <br />Please contact David Bird (303-866-3567 ext. 8108) or me (ext. 8150) if you have any questions. <br />Si cerely, <br />Anthony J.
