(BMRI) - San Luis <br />Pit Partial Backfill <br />Enclosed with this letter are three copies of BMRI's <br />application for a modification to the current reclamaltion <br />plan for the West Pit at the San Luis Project. <br />Specifically, this modification presents a change in waste <br />rock disposal plans that features partial backfillin of the <br />west Pit to a level which will allow free drainage. The <br />plan results in eliminating one waste rock disposal rea, <br />reducing the size of another waste rock disposal are and <br />providing temporary waste xoc}: storage at a third di posal <br />area before eventual removal :Lnd placement in the We t Pit. <br />As we have previously described to the Division, thi~ <br />modification of the West Pit reclamation plan will r sult in <br />a superior overall site recla(ation configuration. <br />The proposed modification wi:.l lessen site disturban e and <br />will enhance the post-mining use of the West Pit are. <br />As you are aware, BMRI's opportunity to implement th s <br />modification successfully has a fairly narrow time f ame. <br />Delays beyond July 31, 1994 will result in waste roc <br />material short falls that could alter the proposal. To <br />fully obtain the environmental benefits which this p~.oposal <br />offers, BMRI requests that the Division's evaluationiof the <br />modification occur as soon as possible. <br />BMRI has met with local and Costilla County government <br />representatives and with representatives of the citi en's <br />groups (Nora Jacquez and Roger Flynn) to present the <br />proposal. The initial discussions have received a f vorable <br />response. BMRI will place a copy of the modificati <br />application at the Costilla County, Clerk and Recor r <br />Office for public review. In addition, BMRI will p lish <br />the enclosed notice in the Va]-ley Courier, four tim s, once <br />a week for fur consecutive weeks starting on May 12, 1994. <br />Proof of publication will be provided to the Divisi n. <br />Also, BMRI will notify the appropriate owners of re ord of <br />lands adjacent to the San Luis Project. <br />A SUflS/D/ARY OF BATTLE M1fOUNTA/N GOLD COMPA,YY <br />P.O.
