COLORADO <br />Division of Reclamation, <br />Mining and Safety <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />Memo to File <br />Date: December 29, 2015 <br />From: Michael A. Cunningham <br />RE: Bluestone Pit; DRMS File No. M-1991-035; Acreage Release No. 2 (AR -02) <br />On September 30, 2015, the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (Division) received an <br />acreage release request (AR -01) for the Bluestone Pit, DRMS File No. M-1991-035. The <br />Division conducted an inspection of the Bluestone Pit on October 26, 2015 in response to AR - <br />01. During the inspection the Division found that a portion of the area which was requested for <br />release contained surface disturbance (see inspection report dated November 16, 2015 for <br />additional details). As a result, the Division denied AR -01. <br />On November 23, 2015, the Division received a revised acreage release request (AR -02) which <br />omitted the affected area which was identified in the October 26, 2015 inspection. The Operator <br />requested the release of 450 acres under AR -02. The Division had determined, during the <br />October 26, 2015 inspection, that the 450 acres requested for release were unaffected by the <br />mining operation. Therefore, no additional inspection will be conducted in response to AR -02 as <br />the observations made during the prior inspection still apply to the current acreage release <br />request. Notice of the Division's decision regarding the acreage release request will be sent <br />under separate cover. <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3567 F 303.832.8106 http://mining.state.co.us <br />John W.
