Mining (extraction and processing) <br />ceased in 2008 due to the economy and the applicant interpreted this as <br />requiring a Notice of Temporary Cessation. The Temporary Cessation narrative <br />stated that there is periodic removal of stockpiled material from the site and the <br />Division determined that a Temporary Cessation was not appropriate for this <br />reason. The Division recommended that the Temporary Cessation be withdrawn <br />and a Technical Revision be submitted to change the mine's status to intermittent <br />operation. <br />The applicant hereby withdraws the Notice of Temporary Cessation and submits <br />this Techriicai - Revision to change the mire to an intermittent operation. <br />With respect to Rule 6.4.4(e), the periods of time required for each phase of <br />mining, description of the size and location of each area mined during each <br />phase, and the sequence of mining are all shown on the Mine Plan Map. <br />There are no personnel working at the site, although there is occasional removal <br />of stockpiled aggregates. Such occasional removal of stockpiled aggregates <br />does not move the site towards completion of the mining operation. Mine <br />development has ceased and mining has not recommenced as of this date. <br />NOV'L9rUn <br />Division of Reclamation <br />Mining and Safety <br />
