RE: Colorado Rose Red Pit; DBMS File No. M-1978-332; Outstanding Corrective Actions
Dear Mr. Liesveld,
The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (Division) conducted an inspection of the
Colorado Rose Red Pit on July 27, 2010. In the Division's inspection report dated August 6,
2010, the following problems were cited:
1. The Division does not have a record of a Reclamation Plan Map.
2. The Mining Plan Map has not been updated to reflect the changes in the Mining Plan.
3. The Mine Plan needs to be updated and clarified.
4. The Operator has failed to follow the approved Reclamation Plan.
The above listed problems were to be addressed through a Technical Revision, which was to be
submitted to the Division by August 31, 2010. During our conversation on August 31, 2010, you
indicated that you would like to increase the permit acreage to include the historic spill pile on
the south face of the mountain where mining is taking place. The Division will allow you to
address the above listed problems through an Amendment to the permit instead of the Technical
Revision. As noted above, the corrective action date for the cited problems was August 31, 2010.
Therefore, you will need to submit a request for an extension of the corrective action date. The
request shall be made in writing and shall specify the date by which the outstanding problems
will be resolved. This date shall be the same as the anticipated date of submittal of the
Amendment Application.
If you have any questions, please contact me at [phone] x8116.
Sincerely,
Mic ael A. Cu ngham
