All issues appear to have been addressed to meet the <br />requirements of the Act and Rules. Therefore, the Division is please to inform Environmental <br />Alternatives and Mr. Treat that the Conversion, CN-01, is approved. <br />The conversion from a 110c to a 112c permit was necessary due to a Mined Land Reclamation <br />Board order MV-2010-021. The order notes that the conversion must be approved no later <br />than March 15, 2011. The current reclamation warranty of $31,000.00 held by the Division has <br />been determined to be adequate for current site conditions. With this approval, and the <br />payment of the civil penalty, the conditions of the Order are met. Therefore the cease and <br />desist order is lifted and the permit holder may resume active mining per the approved plans. <br />If you need additional information please contact me at the Division of Reclamation, Mining <br />and Safety, Grand Junction Field Office, 101 S. 3rd St., Suite 301, Grand Junction, Colorado <br />81501, or by telephone no. 970.241.1117. <br />Sincerely, <br />p? <br />?-J< <br />G.
