ENVIRONMENT, INC. NOVEMBER 14, 2014 PAGE 7 6.5 GEOTECHNICAL STABILITY EXHIBIT 21) The table of contents and Exhibit D mining plan mentions a geotechnical stability exhibit; however, the permit application as received does not contain the previously mentioned exhibit. Please provide the geotechnical stability exhibit. This was a typo and was committed to prematurely by me when I prepared the application packet. In most cases a Geotechnical Analysis is not needed until an operator.is sure they will not receive all of the Structure Agreements back. As noted above we have prepared 2 analysis, one for the Thornton Reservoir and one for the rest of the sttuctures where no agreement was reached. General Comments and Questions 22) Please provide proof of publication in the local newspaper as required by Rule 1.6.5. Proof of publication may consist of either a copy of the last newspaper publication, to include the date published, or a notarized statement from the paper. An application may not be approved until such proof has been obtained. Attached is a copy of the proof of publication. 23) As required by Rule 1.6.2(1)(e) please provide proof of mailing or serving all owners of record of the surface and mineral rights of the affected land; and the Owners of Record of all land surface within 200 feet of the boundary of the affected lands. Attached are copies of the return receipt cards from the adjoining owner notices. As noted previously, some of the adjoining owner addresses of record in the Adams County Assessors office were not current and we received 1 of them back for this reason. The other one was one of the landowners that did not retrieve her copy. Copies of the USPS Tracking Reports are provided for the notices that were returned. 24) Please address the attached comment from the State Historic Preservation Officer. We wish to thank History Colorado for reviewing our permit. The fish hatchery structures are not on the mine site and are still owned by CPW. This has been a highly disturbed area over the years with the eastern parcel being used for agricultural purposes, the northwest area was an old mine and the south west area was a farm equipment yard.and parking areas used by previous landowners. The portions of the old fish hatchery that are on private land and in Phase 1 that will be mined. The gravel resources under these= abandoned, dilapidate, unmaintained, unlined fish runways is too valuable to leave unmined. They will not be preserved, as is the owners prerogative. The old hatchery buildings are on property that is not part of this reclamation permit. We understand the requirement to contact the local Law enforcement if a body is found during mining. 25) Please address the attached comment from Colorado Division of Water Resources. As stated in Exhibit M, a Temporary Substitute Supply Plan and gravel mine well permit will be required. Albert Frei & Sons, inc. is committed to obtaining the necessary permit prior to exposing new groundwater or using groundwater to process material.
