Box 69 <br />Elizabeth, CO 80107 <br />Re: Review of Current Permit Status Regarding Temporary Cessation <br />DBMS FileM2006081, Big "G" Gravel Pit; <br />Dear Daniel Gaudreault: <br />In conducting recent site inspections and reviews of Annual Reports, the Division of <br />Reclamation, Mining, and Safety ( "Division ") has observed that many sites are not in <br />compliance with the permit status requirements of the Colorado Land Reclamation Act for the <br />Extraction of Construction Materials ( "Act ") and the Mineral Rules and Regulations of the <br />Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board for the Extraction of Construction Materials <br />( "Rules "). Specifically, if your operation is not active or has limited mining activity please read <br />the following information carefully, as action on your part may be required. <br />The Act and the Rules require that operators who are not continuously engaged in the extraction <br />of construction materials must either file a notice of Temporary Cessation ( "TC ") or apply for <br />Intermittent Status ( "IS ") as explained below. Operators must file a notice of TC whenever they <br />intend to, or do, temporarily cease production for more than a one year period. C.R.S. § 34-32.5 - <br />103(11)(b); Rule 1.13.5(1). The notice of TC must be filed in writing by separate cover to the <br />Division and include the following: <br />1. A revision fee in the amount of $144.00. <br />2. A statement of when the initial five -year period of TC will commence. <br />3. Reason for non - production. <br />4. A general plan for the resumption of mining. <br />5. Measures to be taken to comply with reclamation requirements related to Rule 3.1 <br />including weed control, storm water control, and general site upkeep. <br />6. Demonstration that the existing Financial Warranty is adequate to cover current <br />reclamation liabilities. <br />7. File the required annual report and fee when due. <br />As an alternative to TC, operators may qualify for IS, but only if they comply with the <br />following requirements: <br />RECEIVED <br />APR 22201i <br />Division of Reclamation. <br />Mining & Safety <br />John W.
