Hickenlooper <br />Governor <br />Mike King <br />Executive Director <br />Loretta Pineda <br />Director <br />The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (Division) reviewed the 2013 Annual Report <br />submitted on June 11, 2013 by Granby Realty Holdings, LLC for the Overlook Mine. Based on the <br />responses to Questions #5 and #6, the site is not in compliance with C.R.S 34- 32.5- 103(11)(b) and <br />Rule 1.13.5(1). The Operator must apply for Intermittent Status (IS) by submitting a technical <br />revision. <br />The Division considers an operation actively mining for at least one day per year, but less than 180 <br />days per year to be an intermittent operation. Active mining operations require the development <br />or extraction of a construction material from its natural occurrences, which may include; open <br />mining, surface operations, transportation operations, processing operations such as crushing and <br />sorting, as well as stockpile removal. Please note regular onsite maintenance activities such as <br />weed control, site maintenance, and storm water control maintenance do not constitute mining <br />activities. <br />A letter titled "Review of Current Permit Status Regarding Temporary Cessation" was sent on <br />February 28, 2013 explaining intermittent operation status and Temporary Cessation of mining <br />operations. A copy of the letter is attached. <br />If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at (303) 866 -3567 ext. 8124. <br />Sincere <br />Peter S.
