LAFARGE <br />NORTH AMERICA <br />AGGREGATES, CONCRETE <br />& ASPHALT <br />May 22,2006 <br />Ms. Erica Crosby <br />~rvision of Minerals and Geology <br />' Department of Natural Resources <br />1313 Sherman St., Room 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203-2273 <br /> <br />RE: North Taft Hill Expansion Pit Permit No. M-2001-051 Notice of Temporary Cessation <br />Dear Ms. Crosby, <br />This letter is to serve as Notice of Temporary Cessation of operations at the North Taft Hill <br />Expansion Pit (Permit No. M-2001-051) located in the NE 1/4, Section 33, Township 8N, Range <br />69W, Larimer County, Colorado. The pit has been inactive since March 2005. <br />Lafarge ceased operations at the site due to lack of market demand. Lafarge anticipates that <br />market conditions will be more favourable in five years, which will allow for the resumption of <br />mining activities at that time. <br />During this period of inactivity, the site will be properly maintained and all approved reclamation <br />requirements will be followed. In the interim, Lafarge has seeded the site to help minimize soil <br />erosion and weed infestations. Also, no mining activity will be initiated on the site without first <br />notifying the Division of the resumption of these activities. <br />A financial warranty that adequately covers the reclamation costs is in place and is registered <br />under Bond no. 6154862 and under Safeco Insurance Company of America's Certificate no. <br />7385. <br />Enclosed is a check for $125 to cover the Notice of Temporary Cessation fee. <br />Please feel free to contact Eric Reckentine at 970-407-3620 with any further comments or <br />questions. <br />Sincerely, , <br />il~6Z/U25~ <br />Noel Weisenbacher <br />Mapping/Weed Specialist <br />LAFARGE WEST, INC. <br />10170 Church Ranch Way, Suite 200, Westminster, Colorado 80021 <br />Telephone: (303) 657-4000 Facsimile: (303) 657-4037 <br />es~) c~~ <br />RECEIVED <br />MA'(3 1 2006 (,~ <br />4ivision ~f Mmecals and Geolo~`t <br />`~ ~ ~ -U <br />
