Re: Preliminary Review of a 110 to 112 Construction Materials Conversion Application Package
CN -01, Kennedy Pit, DRMS Permit M1990 -116
Mr. Schafer:
The Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety has completed its preliminary adequacy review of your
112 construction materials reclamation permit amendment application. The application was called complete
for review on December 30, 2013. All comment and review periods began on December 30, 2013. The
decision date for this application is March 31, 2014. Please be advised that if you are unable to
satisfactorily address any concerns identified in this review before the decision date, it will be your
responsibility to request an extension of the review period. If there are outstanding issues that have not
been adequately addressed prior to the end of the review period, and no extension has been requested, the
Division will deny this application. In order to allow the Division adequate time to review your responses
to any adequacy issues, please submit your adequacy responses to the Division no later than one week prior
to the decision date (March 24, 2014).
Please note that any changes or additions to the application on file in our office must also be reflected in
the public review copy, which has been placed with the Phillips County Clerk and Recorder.
The review consisted of comparing the application content with specific requirements of Rule 6.1, 6.2,
6.4 and 6.5 of the Minerals Rules and Regulations of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board for
the Extraction of Construction Materials. In general the application was substantially adequate; however,
as with most applications there are a few items that will require clarification of the existing information.
Any inadequacies are identified under the respective exhibit heading.
APPLICATION FORM:
The pre and post - mining land uses marked on the application form indicate wildlife habitat, however, there
is text in the exhibits (primarily Exhibit I) that state the post mining land use may be primarily cropland.
Please verify what the majority of the permit area will be returned to for final reclamation, and revise the
appropriate text and figures as necessary.
EXHIBIT N - Source of Legal Right to Enter (Rule 6.4.14):
Exhibit N, as submitted, contains an executed "agreement to mine" between Phillips County and Gregg and
Denise Smith. However, Exhibit O indicates that there are 3other property owners of affected land (High
Plains Conservancy, Joyce Strong, and Clayton and Susan Willmon). Can you provide executed
agreements with these three other property owners during the permit review period? You will also need to
indicate what portions of the proposed permit area are owned by each party listed on the Map in Exhibit C.
