Cattany <br />Division Director <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety has received a revision for the Blue Ribbon Mine. <br />Attached is a copy of the pertinent sections of the revision submittal. The revision was called complete <br />on September 15, 2008. The decision due date is November 14, 2008. <br />In Technical Revision No. 15, MINREC is proposing to revised the reclamation plan for Ponds 4 and 5 so <br />that only a portion of the pond embankments are backfilled into the Ponds. Also, MINREC intends to <br />add a soil loss comparison into the permit to show that the sediment ponds can be removed. <br />This revision is available for review at the Paonia Public Library, 140 Grand Avenue, Paonia, CO 81428. <br />If you have any questions, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />HJ /, - <br />dash <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />JJD/Ahd <br />C-CI-01 C1981047 JJD 09152008033637.doc <br />Office of Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Denver • Grand Junction • Durango Active and Inactive Mines
