LJ DEVELOPMENT, INC. <br />256 N. MERRILL DRIVE <br />PUEBLO WEST, CO 81007 <br />PHONE: 719-240-9424 FAX: 719-583-0768 <br />June 23, 2008 <br />Tony Waldron <br />Southern District Supervisor <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining & Safety <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />RE: Technical Revision #01 to 112c Permit No. M-2002-118 <br />Velarde Pit - APC Southern Construction Co., LLC <br />Gentlemen: <br />0 <br />CRE <br />JUN ? 4 ';,ii id <br />Division,„ , ._.._ aination, <br />Mining and Safety <br />As defined in Rule 1.1- Definitions, this technical revision application represents a <br />change which does not have more than a minor effect upon the Reclamation Plan for the <br />existing Regular 112c Permit for this operation. <br />The purpose of this technical revision is to remove an area of land from the Phase 3 <br />affected land and add an area of equal acreage to the Phase 1 affected land. The reason <br />for change is due to the operator finding that the quality of the material is different from <br />what was previously thought. The material is of better quality than they had assumed <br />when it was originally permitted. Please refer to the attached revised mining plan map <br />for the details of the affected lands exchange. <br />We feel that the reclamation costs will not have to be adjusted since we are affecting the <br />same area as measured in acres and since the lands are identical in their unaffected state. <br />Therefore we believe that the required financial warranty amount will not need to be <br />increased nor decreased by this Technical Revision. <br />At present, Phase 1 of the mining operation is under progress, with a portion of the Phase <br />1 affected land having been disturbed. Phase 2 and Phase 3 affected lands are <br />undisturbed. <br />The proposed changes to the mining and reclamation plan are as follows: <br />1. Approximately 6.25 acres are to be removed from the western edge of the Phase 3 <br />affected land. The revised acreage for the Phase 3 affected land is to he <br />approximately 40.75 acres. <br />2. An area of equal acreage, or 6.25 acres, will then be added to the eastern edge of <br />the Phase 1 affected land boundary. The revised acreage for the Phase 1 affected <br />land is to be change to 50.25 acres.
