The pit has been inactive since March 2005. The first Temporary Cessation period <br />was approved by the Division on June 20, 2006. <br />Lafarge ceased operations at this site due to a lack of market demand. Our mining at Overland Ponds <br />has recently increased and we anticipate resuming operations at the North Taft Hill Expansion site <br />within 5 years. During this period of inactivity, the site will be maintained and monitored. Any <br />reclamation/site maintenance activities will be accomplished according to the approved reclamation <br />plan. Lafarge continuously monitors the site and performs maintenance activities to ensure minimal <br />erosion and to eradicate any weeds. The site is in crop production. No mining activity will be initiated <br />on site without first notifying the Division that mining activities have resumed. <br />A financial warranty that adequately covers the approved reclamation costs is in place and registered <br />under Bond No. 6154862 and under Safeco Insurance Company of America. Enclosed is a check in the <br />amount $144.00 to cover the Notice of Temporary Cessation fee. Please feel free to contact me at your <br />earliest convenience. I maybe reached at (303) 653-4101. <br />Sincerely, <br />Anne Best Johnso CP <br />Land Manager <br />LAFARGE WEST, INC. <br />11409 Business Park Circle, Suite 200 Longmont, Colorado 80504 <br />Telephone: (303) 684-2307 Facsimile: (303) 684-2327
