ADEQUACY REVIEW REPLY FOR THE PICKENPAUGH GRAVEL PIT (M- 1978 -078) The review consisted of comparing the application content with specific requirements of Rules 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 (for 110c or 111c permit applications), 6.4 (for 112c permit applications), and 6.5 (if required) of the Mineral Rules and Regulations of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board for the Extraction of Construction Materials. As with most applications, there are some items that will require more information or clarification of the information submitted. Any inadequacies are identified under the respective exhibit heading: APPLICATION FEE: Adequate as submitted. APPLICATION FORM: Adequate as submitted. EXHIBIT A - Legal Description (Rule 6.4.1): 1) Adequate as submitted. 2) The Applicant shall specify coordinates for latitude and longitude for the main entrance to the mine site in degrees, minutes and seconds or in decimal degrees to an accuracy of at least five (5) decimal places (e.g., latitude 37.12345 N, longitude 104.45678 M. For UTM, the Applicant will need to specify North American Datum (NAD) 1927, NAD 1983, or WGS 84, and the applicable zone, measured in meters. EXHIBIT B - Index Map (Rule 6.4.2): Adequate as submitted. EXHIBIT C - Pre - mining and Mining Plan Map(s) of Affected Lands (Rule 6.4.3): Please include on the Mining Plan Map the following: (a) All immediately adjacent surface owners of record (if applicable); Charles Brewer owns all land adjacent to the pit. The map has been changed to reflect this. (b) The name of the creek to the north (if one exists); Horse Creek runs 1500 feet Northwest of the pit border, and is not shown on any of the maps I submitted because it is out of the view. Including Horse Creek in the map would make the detail of the mining operation difficult to view, or would require a map much larger than what DRMS requires for the 112 application. Before mining began, this area was a low spot that did ,in fact, drain into Horse Creek. This is the reason for the berm depicted in the map. This berm serves as a protective barrier to prevent stormwater discharge / outflow. (c) Adequate as submitted. (d) Adequate as submitted. (e) N/A (f) N/A (g) N/A (h) Adequate as submitted. EXHIBIT D - Mining Plan (Rule 6.4.4): The mining plan shall supply the following information, correlated with the affected lands, map(s) and timetables: (a) Adequate as submitted. (b) Adequate as submitted. (c) Adequate as submitted. (d) Adequate as submitted.
