November 25, 2011 Property Schedule No: Certified Mail Number: Dear : Mark A. Heifner, Ecologist 37 East Colorado Avenue • Denver, Colorado 80210 -3105 • (303) 906 -8096 In accordance with the rules and regulations governing mining in the State of Colorado, the attached public notice is being provided to you. You are an owner with property adjacent to or within 200 feet of the affected land boundary for Schmidt Construction Company's Menzer Quarry. Schmidt has applied for a very small amendment the permit and notification adjacent or nearby owners is required by law. - This amendment adds a small parcel of land (6,762 square feet) on the east side of the operation where there was an inadvertent spillage of rock beyond the affected land boundary. The affected land boundary is the limit for surface disturbance in the course of mining the property. By rule, additions of affected land require an amendment to the permit. No actual mining was conducted in the amendment area, but because the land was disturbed and rehabilitated it must be added to the permit as an addition of affected land. All of the rehabilitation work was completed in early August and accepted by the Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety as well as the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board. Normally, work on amendment areas is done after approval of the amendment as most amendments involve additional mining in the amendment area. In this case, to limit increased impact on the local environment, rehabilitation was needed prior to the amendment process. The Division authorized this approach. If you have comments on the amendment application, the contents of the amendment can be viewed at the locations listed in the public notice. You are also welcome to contact myself as I prepared the amendment for Schmidt. cc: Scott Davis, V.P. - Schmidt Construction Company Sincerely, Mark A. Heifner
