Tom Kaldenbach LI/ State of Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety 1313 Sherman Street Denver, CO 80203 July 20`h, 2013 Dear Tom; My name is Todd Sullivan. I am 50% owner of the Rock N Pine gravel pit located at 49001 Hwy 9 Fairplay, Colorado. I understand that you visited our property on Friday for your inspection. I am disappointed that I was not contacted so that I could participate in your findings. I was told by Mark Balderson that you have some issues on the property and I would like to discuss these with you in person. Please contact me at 863 - 660 -0763. 1 want to clarify that I am trying to be in compliance with Garver Brown and my mining water 2 cubic ft per second 1867 sacramento ditch; which requires the completion of the pipeline and approval by Garver before we can operate the plant. I have been making bedding to fill the trench. All the material 3/8 minus has been used on the pipeline. There is a pile of 1 % beside the dump truck that has been produced by screening aggregate over my grizzly which is part of the permit. I started to put the road in down the side of the hill so the dump truck can safely carry the slash pile (fire hazard) to the end of the property. Mark came to me and said there might be a problem with the road; so all construction stopped. I placed a call to you on June 27`h or 28`h, 2013 asking you to call me so that I could request your permission to put in the road. Please check your call log to verify. The hillside is solid bedrock and I need to make a path wide enough for the machines to traverse safely. I am afraid of the road straight down the hill. There is no intent to violate any terms of our permit; and I ask to be allowed to continue to make the bedding for the pipeline. I wish I could have discussed this with you in person. Please put me on your contact list for future concerns. Si r Todd Sullivan 863 - 660 -0763 toddsull @hotmail.com RECEIVED AUG 01 2013 DIVISION OF RECLAMATION MINING AND SAFETY
