Re: M-1991-003 Tomahawk Mine Warranty Increase submittal extension.
Dear Mr. McGraw
Bill Ritter, Jr.
Governor
James B. Martin
Executive Director
Loretta E. Pineda
Director
On April 28, 2010, the Division sent you a letter requesting an additional warranty in the amount of,
$30,764.00, for a total of $70,685.00, based on the 2008 inspection report within 60 days or by June 28,
2010. Your site was also inspected while in the area inspecting the DFC ceramics site M-1991-143. The
operators of the DFC ceramics site asked you to look at their operation, since your company showed
some interest in succeeding the Ceramics 110 site.
The Division had sent the DFC ceramics site an inspection report based on the findings of the site visit to
increase the warranty from the current $5,000.00 to $15,000.00, if the site was not succeeded by
November 30, 2010. Since that time Robinson Brick has agreed to succeed the DFC Ceramics site permit
# M-1991-143 and at a later date submit an amendment to incorporate the entire permit area to the
adjacent Robinson brick 112 permit site (M-1991-003.)
Since the two operations permit areas are contiguous, the incorporation of the permit area into the 112
operation is. possible. If Robinson Brick submits the additional warranty in the amount of $30,764.00, no
later than August 28, 2010, the Division will allow Robinson Brick to only submit the current $5000.00
that is held for permit #M-1991-143, when the succession of operation application is submitted. The
Division will not require Robinson Brick the additional warranty, for the revision. When the permit
amendment revision is submitted, to incorporate the two permits, the Division requests Robinson brick
to limit the disturbance associated with both permits not to exceed 20 acres at any given time, without
the appropriate revision to the permit. As long as that provision is adhered to the amendment
submittal, no additional warranty will be required at that time.
If you have questions, please contact me at 303 866 3567 ext 8129.
Sincerely,
Berhan Keffelew
