Enclosed with this memo are your"Operator's Annual Report" form, "Instructions for Completing Operator's Annual Report", and "Update of Mine Rescue Information". Please return forms whether you had activity or not. If you had no activity, please indicate that. The explosive permit applications were sent out in the fall of 1995. Diesel permit applications will no longer be sent with the annual report forms. If you need diesel permit applications, you may obtain from your inspector. Diesels are permitted once; it is not necessary to renew diesel applications.

As you may know, the Division of Minerals and Geology has a major role in collecting and summarizing Information about the mining industry of Colorado. Timely and complete statistical summaries and analyses of the information will be very useful to the Industry, State and local governments and all interested citizens.

As part of a revitalization effort for the Division of Minerals and Geology, we Intend to make this a major priority to better serve you and the citizens of Colorado. Clearly, your cooperation Is needed for all of us to succeed. Thank you In advance for your time and effort.

If you have any questions regarding the materials distributed or any other mattersrelating to the Division of Minerals and Geology, please do not hesitate to contact the Division. We will make every effort to visit you at the mine on a routine basis, as well as when special circumstances make it appropriate.

As the Division of Minerals and Geology works to develop job safety analysis, mine emergency training, and education and training programs, your support is vital to our success. The communication lines are open and must be used if the mining industry of Colorado and the Division are to succeed. Let's make 1995 a very positive year.

M ichael B. Long RE: 1996 Explosive Permits / Annual Reports Division Director

Beginning with the 1996 explosive permits, the explosive permit applications are being sent to you separate from the Annual Report packets. Annual Report packets will be sent to you at a later date. Please submit your completed explosive permit applications by no later than December 1, 1995.

During the past year several problems have arisen. This illustrates a need for continued diligence in explosives storage and use. We believe more regulation is unnecessary, but proper maintenance of existing statutes must be followed. To this end the Division of Minerals and Geology will continue close support of explosives related activities.

All permits issued or renewed shall be presented or posted as original documents. Copies are not approved and will not be considered valid. Each permit placard or certificate must be countersigned by the company official listed on the permit application. DO NOT MAKE COPIES TO POST.

Included with this memorandum is an explosives permit renewal application. Please fill out the document completely. If there is no current Operator's Change in Status Report on file, one is included in your packet. Make sure you fill it out. We cannot assign an explosive permit unless the status document is complete. The mine status report will be submitted once for the permanent record and will then be re-submitted for major changes in status. Major changes will require modification of information and include the following1: a change of officials, change of operator, the mine starting or ceasing activity or substantial changes.

The Division of Minerals and Geology will review your application on file and inspect storage facilities each year. Once the Division's authorized representative has determined your facility complies with statute and other documents are on file, the application will be updated.

TO: A11 Mine Operators Roy Romer Governor FROM: 0. W. Nugent James S. Lochhead Chief Inspector Executive Director Michael 8. Long Division Director RE: 1995 Explosive Permits / Annual Status Reports

During the past year several problems have arisen. This illustrates a need for continued diligence in explosives storage and use. We believe more regulation 1s unnecessary, but proper maintenance of existing statutes must be followed. To this end the Division of Minerals and Geology will continue close support of explosives related activities.

All permits Issued or renewed shall be presented or posted as original documents. Copies are not approved and will not be considered valid. Each permit placard or certificate must be countersigned by the company official listed on the permit application. DO NOT MAKE COPIES TO POST.

Included with this memorandum 1s an explosives permit renewal application. Please fill out the document completely. If there is no current Operator's Change in Status Report on file, one Is Included in your packet. Make sure you fill it out. We cannot assign an explosive permit unless the status document is complete. The mine status report will be submitted once for the permanent record and will then be re-submitted for major changes in status. Major changes will require modification of Information and include the following: a change of officials, change of operator, the mine starting or ceasing activity or substantial changes.

The Division of Minerals and Geology will review your application on file and Inspect storage facilities each year. Once the Division's authorized representative has determined your facility complies with statute and^ other documents are on file, the application will be updated. New permits will, be issued at the end of the year, upon receipt of the required support documents.

It is your responsibility, as a permitted operator, to properly maintain your storage facility and ensure only qualified personnel will be using explosives. It is your responsibility to notify the Division of Minerals and Geology of any accident or theft of explosives. It is also your responsibility to notify the Division of discontinuance of a permit, suspension of operations or any action requiring a follow-up or close-out inspection of explosive storage.

FROM: J. W. Nugent Chief Inspector

RE: 1994 Explosive Permits / Annual Status Reports ■

During the past year several problems have arisen. This Illustrates a need for continued diligence In explosives storage and use. We believe more regulation is unnecessary, but proper maintenance of existing statutes must be followed. To this end the Division of Minerals and Geology win continue close support of explosives related activities.

All permits issued or renewed shall be presented or posted as original documents. Copies are not approved and will not be considered valid. Each permit placard or certificate must be countersigned by the company official listed on the permit application. DO NOT MAKE COPIES TO POST.

Included with this memorandum 1s an explosives permit renewal application. Please fill out the document completely. If there is no current Operator's Change in Status Report on file, one Is included In your packet. Make sure you fill 1t out. We cannot assign an explosive permit unless the status document Is complete. The mine status report will be submitted once for the permanent record and will then be re-submitted for major changes in status. Major changes will require modification of Information and Include the following: a change of officials, change of operator, the mine starting or ceasing activity or substantial changes.

The Division of Minerals and Geology will review your application on file and inspect storage facilities each year. Once the Division's authorized representative has determined your facility complies with statute and other documents are on file, the application will be updated. New permits will be issued at the end of the year, upon receipt of the required support documents.

It Is your responsibility, as a permitted operator, to properly maintain your storage facility and ensure only qualified personnel will be using explosives.

RE: 1993 Explosive Permits / Annual Status Reports

During the past year several problems have arisen. This Illustrates a need for continued diligence 1n explosives storage and use. We believe more regulation is unnecessary, but proper maintenance of existing statutes must be followed. To this end the Division of Minerals and Geology will continue close support of explosives related activities.

All permits Issued or renewed shall be presented or posted as original documents. Copies are not approved and will not be considered valid. Each permit placard or certificate must be countersigned by the company official listed on the permit application. DO NOT MAKE COPIES TO POST.

Included with this memorandum 1s an explosives permit renewal application. Please fill out the document completely. If there Is no current Operator's Change In Status Report on file, one Is Included in your packet. Make sure you fill it out. We cannot assign an explosive permit unless the status document is complete. The mine status report will be submitted once for the permanent record and will then be re-submitted for major changes in status. Major changes will require modification of Information and Include the following: a change of officials, change of operator, the mine starting or ceasing activity or substantial changes.

The Division of Minerals and Geology Will review your application on file and inspect storage facilities each year. Once the Division's authorized representative has determined your facility complies with statute and other documents are on file, the application will be updated. New permits will be Issued at the end of the year, upon receipt of the required support documents.

It Is your responsibility, as a permitted operator, to properly maintain your storage facility and ensure only qualified personnel will be using explosives. It Is your responsibility to notify the Division of Minerals and Geology of any accident or theft of explosives. It Is also your responsibility to notify the Division of discontinuance of a permit, suspension of operations or any action requiring a follow-up or close-out Inspection of explosive storage. s ii 9763F/d1sk 0917F INSTRUCTIONS

RE: 1992 Explosive Permits / Annual Status Reports

During the past year a need for continued explosives control has been demonstrated. We believe more regulation 1s unnecessary, but proper maintenance of existing statutes must be followed. To this end the Division of Mines 1s upgrading Its approach.

All permits Issued or renewed shall be presented or posted as original documents. Copies are not approved and will not be considered valid. Each .permit placard or certificate must be countersigned by the company official listed on the permit application. DO NOT MAKE COPIES TO POST.

Included with this memorandum 1s an explosives permit renewal application. Please f i n out the document completely. I f there is no current Operator's Change In Status Report on file , one is Included in your packet. Make sure I , w® £annot assign an explosive permit unless the status document Is complete. The mine status report will only be submitted once for the permanent record and will only be re-submitted for major change(s). Major changes will require modification of Information and include the following: a change of officials, change of operator, the mine starting or ceasing activity and other substantial changes.

The Division of Mines will review your application on file and Inspect storage fa cilitie s each year. Once the Division's authorized representative has determined your fa cility compiles with statute and other documents are on file , the application will be updated. New permits will be issued at the end of the year, upon receipt of the required support documents. it J . ln»0Ur*,r Mli*nSlb1,Jty ’ as a Perm,tted operator, to properly maintain your storage fa c ility and ensure only qualified personnel will be usinq y*°Ur respons1b1 llty to notify the Division of Mines of any accident or theft of explosives. It Is also your responsibility to notify the f?I°" of Mines of discontinuance of a permit, suspension of operations or any action requiring a follow-up or close-out Inspection of explosive storage. gaw 9763F Colorado Division of Mines Annex XVI Mine Emergency and Rescue

RE: 1992 Explosive Permits / Annual Status Reports

During the past year a need for continued explosives control has been demonstrated. We believe more regulation Is unnecessary, but proper maintenance of existing statutes must be followed. To this end the Division of Mines Is upgrading Its approach. A ll permits Issued or renewed shall be presented or posted as original documents. Copies are not approved and w ill not be considered va lid . Each permit placard or certificate must be countersigned by the company o ffic ia l listed on the permit application. DO NOT MAKE COPIES TO POST.

The mine status report w ill only be submitted once for the permanent record and w ill only be re-submitted for major change(s). Major changes w ill require modification of Information and Include the following: a change of officials, change of operator, the mine starting or ceasing activity and other substantial changes. The Division of Mines will review your application on file and Inspect storage facilities each year. Once the Division's authorized representative has determined your fa c ility complies with statute and other documents are on f ile , the application w ill be updated. New permits w ill be issued at the end of the year, upon receipt of the required support documents.

I t Is your responsibility, as a permitted operator, to properly maintain your storage fa c ilit y and ensure only qualified personnel w ill be using explosives. It Is your responsibility to notify the Division of Mines of any accident or theft of explosives.

Dear Mr. Nugent:

Please be advised that at the end of March, 1989, our company underwent a name change (from Alta Gold Co. to San Juan County Mining Venture - Washington Mining Co., Operator). We will therefore need to have an explosives permit issued under our new name. I am enclosing a check in the amount of $90.00 to cover the cost of such permit. For your convenience in locating your file, I have also enclosed a copy of our earlier letter to you, dated January 17, 1989, as well as a copy of our earlier permit application.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

TO: Explosive Permit Holder FROM: J.W. Nugent :-f~ Chief Inspector ,,

RE: 1988 Explosive Permits

The Division has not received your annual fee for your explosives permit. If you are now holding explosives In your magazine you w ill have to remove them Immediately 1f you do not plan to renew your permit. I suggest returning unused explosives to the distributor. The Division Inspectors will be checking all magazines for unrenewed permits to ensure explosives are not abandoned.

It 1s not lawful to have possession of explosives without a current permit. In fact unlawful possession is a Felony offense. The Division Is attempting to enforce the law with as small an Inconvtnlence as possible, but we w ill enforce the law. Our aims are to separate the valid, law abiding user from unlawful users. The permitting system helps accomplish th is .

I thank you for your continued role as a permit holder. By working together we can reduce the availability of explosives for criminal or terrorist activities. If you have old explosives you are concerned about handling, please contact me at (303) 866-3401.

DATE: November 26, 1990 TO: All Mine Operators

FROM: J.W. Nugent Chief Inspector RE: 1991 Explosive Permits Annual Status Reports

During the past year a need for continued explosives control has been demonstrated. We believe more regulation is unnecessary, but proper maintenance of existing statutes must be followed. To this end the Division of Mines is upgrading its approach. All permits issued or renewed shall be presented or posted as original documents. Copies are not approved and w ill not be considered valid . Each permit placard or ce rtifica te must be countersigned by the company o ffic ia l liste d on the permit application. DO NOT MAKE COPIES TO POST. Included with this memorandum is an explosives permit renewal application. Please fill out the document completely. If there is no current operator's change in status report on file one is included in your packet. Make sure you f ill it out. We cannot assign an explosive permit unless the status document is complete. The mine status report w ill only be submitted once for permanent record and w ill only be resubmitted for major change. Major changes w ill require a modification of information. Major changes include a change of officials, change of operator, the mine starting or ceasing activity, and other substantial changes. The Division of Mines will review your application on file and inspect storage facilities each year. Once the Division's authorized representative has determined your fa c ility complies with statute and other documents are on f ile , the application w ill be updated. New permits w ill be issued at the end of the year, upon receipt of the required support documents. I t 1s your responsibility, as a permitted operator, to properly maintain your storage fa c ility and ensure only qualified personnel w ill be using explosives. It is your responsibility to notify the Division of Mines of any accident or theft of explosives. It is your responsibility to notify the Division of Mines of discontinuance of a permit, suspension of operations, or any action requiring a follow-up or close-out inspection of explosive storage.
