Construction Materials Rule <br />3.1.3 states that all reclamation shall be carried to completion by the Operator with all reasonable <br />diligence, and each phase of reclamation shall be completed within five years from the date the <br />Operator informs the Division that such phase has commenced. According to the Division's <br />records, the Glass Pit has been in final reclamation since at least 2002. Therefore, the Division is <br />unable to approve the request to extend the corrective action date to July 28, 2016. The Division <br />is willing to extend the corrective action date to July 28, 2012. The Operator may file a written <br />notice of completion of reclamation and request for release of reclamation responsibility with the <br />Division once reclamation has been completed. <br />If you have any questions, please call me at (303)866 -3567 x8116. <br />Sincerely, <br />Michael A.
