Box 3609 <br />Grand Junction, Colorado 81502 <br />Re: Rozman Pit, Permit No. M- 1981 -014, Technical Revision Request, TR -06, Approval <br />Dear Mr. Kearl, <br />The Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety has finished the review of United's request for a technical revision, <br />TR -06, to the Rozman Pit permit. The revision makes changes to the mining and reclamation plans, and permit <br />area configuration. Staff received new maps and the inspection addressed the other issues noted in the May 4, <br />2011 adequacy letter. The Division did not receive any comments or appeals to the decision to release 146.8 acres <br />of Tract 1 as approved by the Division under acreage reduction request AR -02. Therefore the documented lands <br />are officially released and TR -06 is hereby approved as well. The Technical Revision changes: <br />Sincerely, <br />Mined Land Reclamation <br />1. Reconfigures the proposed disturbance area. <br />2. Changes the mining direction. <br />3. Notes the existence of the current batch plant and scale house. <br />4. Reconfigures the reclamation area. <br />5. Adds in a pond. <br />6. Changes the seed mixture. <br />The financial warranty was not revised and updated at this time due to a pending Technical Revision for the <br />relocation of the batch plant and support facilities to the 3 acres closer to Highway 135. When that Revision is <br />submitted construction details and a new access point will be addressed which will give staff better information to <br />more accurately revise the reclamation liability. <br />If you need additional information please contact me at the Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety, Grand <br />Junction Field Office, 101 S. 3rd St., Suite 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, or by telephone no. 970.241.1117. <br />G.
