Hickenlooper <br />Governor <br />Mike King <br />Executive Director <br />Loretta E. Pineda <br />Director <br />The Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety (Division) has reviewed United's request for an acreage <br />reduction to the Rozman Pit permit. The request will remove Tract 1 with 146.8 acres of undisturbed <br />lands from the permit area. A site inspection was conducted on May 18, 2011.

Staff continues to review the technical revision which will address <br />the new pit configuration, batch plant, and new access. <br />If you need additional information please contact me at the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety, <br />Grand Junction Field Office, 101 S. 3rd St., Suite 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, or by telephone <br />no. 970.241.1117. <br />Sincerely, <br />G.
