MR -120 proposes to <br />• construct a second addition to the existing bathhouse /office complex <br />• relocate an office -shop building approved by MR -105, that has not yet been constructed, to a <br />site adjacent to the bathhouse /complex <br />• build a covered walkway between the two buildings <br />• erect three light poles on the (northern) edge of the car park <br />Based on the preliminary adequacy review, the Division has the following questions and comments: <br />1. Table 19 (Surface facilities list) has been revised to include the proposed facilities. These <br />changes are all under the heading "Map 11 Sheet 3 ". To ensure consistency, the changes should <br />also be shown on the map itself. <br />Since the Proposed Decision Due Date for MR -120 is June 23, 2013 it will likely be necessary for you <br />to request an extension to allow the Division time to receive and review the amended map. <br />Sincerely, <br />Q-X-- � <br />Leigh Simmons. <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Office of Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Denver • Grand Junction • Durango Active and Inactive Mines <br />
