Long, <br />Division Director <br />The State of Colorado, Mined Land Reclamation Division will be performing <br />reclamation on the E 1/2 Section 24, Township 205, Range 70W and SE 1/4 <br />Section 19 and NE 1/4 Section 30, Township 205, Range 69W. These parcels of <br />land are situated within the disturbed portion of the G.E.C. Permit area. The <br />operator of the mine, G.E.C. Minerals, failed to comply with regulatory <br />requirements, which resulted in the revocation of the mining permit and <br />forfeiture of the operator's reclamation performance bond. The bond monies <br />will be used by the Division to perform final reclamation work in Section 24 <br />beginning in September of this year and maintenance in sections 19 and 30. <br />This letter serves as surface owner notification. <br />Reclamation of the site is dictated by the reclamation plan found in the <br />G.E.C. permit application and additional maintenance. Reclamation work in <br />Section 24 will consist of the following tasks: <br />1) Backfilling and grading of the Orphan Pit with mine waste from the <br />road and tipple area and additional material north of the pit; <br />2> Removal of the Tipple pond embankment; <br />3) Topsoil replacement on the reclaimed Orphan Pit; <br />4) Stabilization of the drainage on the southwest corner of the <br />reclaimed refuse area; <br />5) Seeding, fertilization and mulching of the Tipple Area, Refuse <br />Area, Orphan Pit, topsoil and storage area, the reclamation haul <br />road, and areas adjacent to County Road 15. <br />
