TRANSIT MIX AGGREGATES <br />April 29, 2011 <br />Mine Land Reclamation Board <br />Attn: Mr. Berhan Keffelew <br />Colorado Division of Reclamation Mine and Safety <br />1313 Sherman St., Suite 212 <br />Denver CO 80203 <br />RE: M-1977-211 Pike View Quarry <br />- - --, _ Dear-Mr- -.Keffeleww: <br />This letter is to request an extension to the deadline for Continental Materials <br />Corporation d.b.a. Transit Mix Concrete, Castle Concrete ("Continental"), to submit an <br />amended reclamation and mining plan for the Pike View Quarry (referenced above) as <br />required under DRMS's June 11, 2009 and July 7, 2010 Orders ("DRMS Orders"). We <br />would like to appear before the DRMS Board at its May 11-12, 2011 meeting to <br />demonstrate our progress regarding compliance with the DRMS's Orders, present our <br />current findings, and seek the extra time to complete additional investigation regarding <br />the stability of the core of the mountain. The proposed extension would be until May 13, <br />2012. <br />The additional investigation is in response to recent changes we have observed at or near <br />the top of the mine. A section of the mountain behind the limestone has shifted <br />substantially in January and February of this year. The area is 3,000 to 4,000 square feet <br />in size and the displacement is 12-15 vertical feet. This significant movement has raised <br />our concern and directly affects Continental's preparation of the amended reclamation <br />and mining plan. <br />The additional time will also allow us the time necessary to secure the right of entry from <br />the U.S. Forest Service to the adjoining National Forest Service land west of the slide <br />area. We are looking to expand our current right of entry by approximately ten acres. <br />Any questions, please contact myself or Jerald Schnabel at 719-475-0700. <br />Sincerely, <br />M. L.
