We are required by Colorado and Federal law <br />to publish our blasting schedule in the local newspaper every twelve months. We are also <br />required to mail or deliver a copy of the blasting schedule to each residence located within <br />one -half mile of the blasting site described in the schedule. Enclosed is a copy of the 2012- <br />2013 blasting schedule. <br />If you have not had a pre - blasting survey conducted on your residence, and the residence is <br />located within one -half mile of the blasting site, you have the right to request one. If you <br />have added to or remodeled the residence since your previous pre - blasting survey, you may <br />request another. The survey will determine the condition of the dwelling and document <br />any existing damage and other physical factors that could reasonably be expected to be <br />affected by blasting. Assessments of structures such as cables, pipes, transmission lines, <br />wells and other water systems, and septic systems shall be limited to surface conditions and <br />readily available data. Special attention will be given to the conditions of wells and <br />cisterns used for human, animal, or agricultural purposes and to the quality and quantity of <br />well water. <br />If you believe a residence owned or occupied by you falls within the one -half mile radius, it <br />has not previously been surveyed, and you want a survey conducted on it; please call Ross <br />Gubka at (970) 864 -7910 or Tom Fry at (970) 864 -7590. If they do not answer, you may <br />leave a message on their voice mail; but please give your name, telephone number, the <br />physical address of the residence to be surveyed, and the best time to return your call. You <br />should also feel free to stop by the mine office at 27646 West 5th in Nucla to make your <br />request if you prefer. <br />We have conducted over 150 surveys of residences in the Nucla area, so it is likely that <br />yours has already been surveyed. If you are unsure or have misplaced your copy of the <br />survey, please contact us. <br />Sincerely, <br />,,J <br />R. Lance Wade <br />Mine Manager <br />
