ASPHALT SPECIALTIES CO. 10100 Dallas St. 0 Henderson, CO 80640 November 25, 2009 Mr. Davi Bird Reclamation Specialist Colorado Div. of Reclamation, Mining and Safety 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 Denver, Colorado 80203 (303) 289 -8555 Fax: (303) 289 -7707 u 7 i;.:a. 0V � C 2C 09 RE: Dear Mr. Bird: Enclosed, please find 2 signed copies of the revised referenced maps of which I spoke to you briefly about at your field inspection of the Speer site on 11 -20 -2009. These maps should replace the two maps received by you on 09 -21 -2009 that increased the amount of "solid waste" to the Speer site versus a lesser amount shown in the original amendment (amendment 4) submittal of 08 -28 -2009. Also included is a text "addendum" and revised Exhibit "L", Reclamation Costs With this minor change, ASCI has determined that keeping a small reservoir on the site to service irrigation and : other water needs on the property is the best course of action for the reclamation plan. The original reclamation plan for this site, approved in 2000, called for the site to be reclaimed as a water - storage reservoir, so the revision submitted today should not .require re- notification and re- publishing of the amendment application. Most of our neighbors to the Speer site are aware of this proposed small reservoir and are pleased that a pond will remain providing aesthetic and wildlife value to the property. Correspondingly, an increase in reclamation bonding is required per DRMS regulations to bond for the construction of the clay liner. A revised Exhibit L is included with this correspondence. Also contained with this correspondence is an original signed affidavit of the Adams County Clerk and Recorder that a revised set of the aforementioned maps and text "addendum" were replaced in the submittal application of August 2009 (revised in September 2009) for public inspection on 11 -25 -09 at the Adams County Clerk and Recorder's Office. If, by submittal of this latest revision to the amendment, a need for DRMS staff to have more time for review !of the proposed changes beyond the November 30, 2009 decision date, ASCI is requesting more time for this action, as well as to complete our review of the Adequacy Review written by DRMS on November 4, 2009. Thank you for your attention to these matters. Sincere , Rob Laird, Land Manager enclosures
