Of ONO RECEIVED -rct DEC 242012 Division of Reclamation, Mining & Safety On June 10, 2011 you submitted an application to develop federal mineral materials in Township 18 North, Range 70 East, Sections 30 and 31. A National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Environmental Analysis was conducted to provide an in -depth review of this mining proposal. The Draft Environmental Analysis document was provided to the public for review and comment during the period of October 4, 2012 through November 8, 2012. At the conclusion of this analysis and public review period, a finding of no significant impact was reached and the record of decision was signed on December 20, 2012. Subsequently, the mineral materials application is being approved with the understanding that the mitigation measures identified during the Environmental Analysis process will eventually be incorporated into the mineral materials contract. In accordance with 43 CFR 3602.31, sales in excess of more 200,000 C.Y. (or weight equivalent) will be conducted under a competitive sale process. As this requested sale is in excess of this amount, provisions for competitive sales outlined under 43 CFR 3602.40 will need to be followed. It is anticipated that competitive sale will be held in early 2013 and will be conducted through sealed bidding, with the contract having the option to be renewed. Providing proof of access will be one of the required elements for bid selection. On September 20, 2011 BLM received cost recovery in the amount of $5,045.15 from T.H.E. Aggregate Source mine, in order to process this application for disposal of federal mineral materials located. The actual cost to process the application amounted to $10,694.27. Therefore, the applicant is required to pay the difference of $5,649.12. If the successful bidder is someone other than the applicant, they will be required to submit the cost recovery fee amount and the applicant will be reimbursed.
