Re: Preliminary Review of a 112 Construction Materials Reclamation Permit Application Package,
GoodMiller #2 Pit, Permit M- 2014 -070
Mr. Miller:
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 January 14, 2015. All comment and review periods began on January 14, 2015. The decision date for this
application is April 14, 2015. 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 (April 7, 2010).
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 Weld 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.
EXHIBIT D - Minins Plan (Rule 6.4.4): The mining plan states that the permittee wishes to import off -site fill
(primarily asphalt and concrete for recycling) in accordance with Rule 3.1.5(9). While DRMS supports the
permittee requiring documentation of fill from importers for their records, DRMS requires an affidavit of inert fill
from the permittee before any fill is accepted at the site.
EXHIBIT L - Reclamation Costs (Rule 6.4.12): All information necessary to calculate the costs of reclamation
must be submitted and broken down into the various major phases of reclamation. You must provide sufficient
information to calculate the cost of reclamation that would be incurred by the state.
DRMS has calculated the reclamation bond required for the site based on the information contained in the
application. Because there was no commitment provided in the application to maximum un- reclaimed acreage or
