RE: Lafarge West, Inc., North Taft Hill Expansion Site, File No. M-2001-051, Request for
Extension of Temporary Cessation Status
This letter is to inform Counties and Municipalities within two miles of a mining operation of the intent of
the operators to put their mining operation into a state of temporary cessation. This letter is sent pursuant to
the requirement of Rule 1. 13.6 of the Rules and Regulations of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation
Board.
Please be advised that Lafarge West, Inc., whose address and telephone number are: 10170 Church Ranch
Way, Ste. 200, Westminster CO 80021; [phone], has filed a Notice of Temporary Cessation with the
Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety for the North Taft Hill Expansion Site mining operation. The
mining operation is located at or near Section 33, Township 8N, Range 69W, 06th Prime Meridian, in
Larimer County.
The period of temporary cessation will begin on June 20, 2011 and may last for up to five years from that
date. The notice submitted to the Division contains information pertaining to the reasons for cessation of the
mining operation, a plan for resumption, and the measures taken to comply with reclamation and other
necessary activities related to the performance standards of Rule 3 of the Rules and Regulations in order to
maintain the mine in a non-producing or non-development state.
The receipt of the Notice of Temporary Cessation will be acknowledged in the monthly activity report
attached to the agenda, and approved as a consent agenda item, at the June meeting of the Mined Land
Reclamation Board unless one or more of the following conditions occurs:
1. Reclamation or performance standard issues are indicated in the Notice of Temporary
Cessation.
2. Such issues are indicated by a field inspection of the site.
3. Such issues are indicated by a review of the site file.
4. Concerns are expressed regarding the Notice of Temporary Cessation by interested persons.
If one or more of the above conditions occurs, the Division will place the Notice of Temporary Cessation on
the agenda for the June or July meeting of the Mined Land Reclamation Board. During that meeting, the
Board would consider whether or not to accept the Notice. If you have any questions, please call Eric Scott
at 303-866-3567 x8140.
