August 5, 2011 Colorado Div. of Rec., Mining and Safety i■Aitn: Mr. Peter Hays RM 215 1313 Sherman St. Denver, CO 80203 Dear Mr. Hays: Respectfully H. Bruce Humphries Consultant for Corkle Const. cc: Corkle Construction Zo// --033 AUG 0 6 2011 DMz3on of 'Reclamation, 7 lining and Safety RE: Request to move the survey issue from a Completenes s item em to an Adequacy item and find the Application complete You should have in hand the revised signature page for the Application form. We delivered it to the Division's office on August 4, 2011. We believe the remaining and outstanding completeness issue is the requested survey. We request the survey issue be move from a Completeness issue to an Adequacy issue. The professional survey has finally been done for both pits. (It appears the originally approved 110 application was greater than 9.9 acres and we will need to figure out how to modify the existing operation's permit boundary so that it meets our operational needs, DRMS regulations and then add the excess to the new pit.) We may need additional time to resolve the issue past the 60 days allowed for completeness. If we do not meet the 60 day completeness timeline, we could be in violation of the Board ordered submittal date. I was in the DRMS Office on the 4 attending a pre - hearing conference. I was not able to meet with you since you were in a meeting. Mr. Waldron wanted to meet with me on some other matters and I briefly discussed this request with him. Please let me know as soon as possible if this request may not be granted since we are close to the end of the 60 day completeness date, August 22, 2011. In addition, we ask the DRMS indulgence in attempting to get this permit issue resolved, particularly since Corkle Construction inherited this problem which was not evident to Corkle Construction as the time of succession.
