RE: File No. M-2004-009; Turnpike Mining Resource; Technical Revision (TR02),
Submitted by Asphalt Specialties Co., Inc.
Mr. Laird,
The Division has provided you with several options at this time for resolving the issues of TR02
and the Turnpike Mining Resource site and proceeding forward. The acreage release and bond
reduction for the 123 acres of Cell 1 that has been requested can not be addressed through the
technical revision that Asphalt Specialties has submitted for reasons that we have already
elaborated on. Therefore, to resolve the issue of TR02, the Division will allow you to choose one
of the following options:
1) You may choose to have the Division review TR02 as consisting of the proposed changes to
the reclamation configurations of Cells 2, 3, 4 and 6, and the associated changes in mining and
reclamation plan as submitted - addressing these issues ONLY, and NOT including any of the
acreage release or surety reduction request issues associated with Cell 1.
2) You may submit a permit amendment to the Division, as required, addressing the issues of the
changes in post mining land use and the approved reclamation plan for Cell 1, and incorporate the
current TR02 modifications for Cells 2, 3, 4 and 6 into the amendment application. The Division
will apply the $216 TR fee already submitted to the cost of the permit amendment.
3) You may withdraw TR02 altogether and the Division will refund the TR fee of $216 that you
have submitted.
If Asphalt Specialties has not selected one of the above options to proceed and notified the
Division of its choice by October 10, 2008, TR02 will be summarily denied and the TR
application fee of $216 will not be refunded.
Thank you,
