Rick Anderson <br />DIRECTOR <br />November 25, 2013 <br />1COLORADO <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety <br />1313 Sherman St., Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />Re: 112c Annual Report — Debetz Pit, Permit # M- 1977 -283 <br />Dear DRMS: <br />Parks & Community Resources <br />Department <br />9755 Henderson Road <br />Brighton, CO 80601 <br />PHONE 303.637.8000 <br />Fax 303.637.8015 <br />www.adcogov.org <br />The Debetz Pit was mined for several years by the Adams County Public Works Department as a <br />source of road base. The County ceased mining operations in 2001. The site is currently open to <br />the public for passive recreation, primarily fishing and hiking. DRMS conducted an inspection <br />of the site on April 9, 2010. No possible violations or corrective actions were noted. <br />On August 21, 2013, DRMS approved Technical Revision No. 1 to the Permit M- 1977 -283, <br />which is now incorporated into the Permit conditions. The Technical Revision is for the purpose <br />of allowing up to 75,000 of inert fill material to be placed into Debetz Pit between September <br />2013 and December 2015. The inert fill material is being generated by Metro Wastewater <br />Reclamation District's (MWRD) South Platte Interceptor project. MWRD is delivering the inert <br />fill material to Debetz Pit, and the County's Transportation Department is placing the material <br />into Debetz Pit. Inert fill operations have begun and are currently underway. The County <br />received a letter from CDPHE dated February 4, 2013, stating that a Certificate of Designation <br />would not be required for this operation. The County received a Conditional Use Permit from <br />the Adams County BoCC on September 9, 2013, for the inert fill operations. <br />After the inert fill operations are completed, the County will implement final reclamation <br />activities (final grading, seeding, tree planting) and request permit release. <br />Sincerely, <br />Marc Pedrucci <br />Natural Resource Manager <br />Adams County Parks <br />Cc: Rick Anderson <br />Craig Tessmer <br />BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />Eva J.
