22. Please provide the Division with the approximate size (in acres) of the currently disturbed area within Tract 6 <br />which is the area in reclamation of the adjacent CDOT mining permit M-1979-160. As explained above this <br />area is not fully releasable yet and will need to be accounted for in the reclamation cost estimate for this <br />conversion application; this acreage will be used for a general grading task to mitigate any future erosion and <br />a re -vegetation task to establish adequate vegetation. <br />The approximate size of the currently disturbed area within Tract 6 that lies within The CDOT mining <br />permit M-1979-160 is 3.9 acres. <br />23. In the conversion application, the Operator states that a NPDES permit to cover storm water runoff and <br />dewatering is not required. Please supply further information and data to justify that "all storm water will soak <br />into the ground before it can leave the site." In lieu of this data, commit to obtaining a Stormwater Discharge <br />Permit. The Operator shall contact the Water Quality Control Division (WQCD) of the Colorado Department <br />of Public Health and Environment for further information regarding this permit .Please supply the Division <br />with a copy of the submitted permit application or WQCD correspondence demonstrating that the proposed <br />plan will not require a permit. <br />The floor of the pit slopes into the working face. Experience over the last 29 years verifies that rainfall <br />pools on the mine surface, then evaporates. There is no runoff from the site. <br />24. Please note that any changes or additions to the application on file in our office must also be reflected in the <br />public review copy, which was placed with the Logan County Clerk and Recorder by the Operator. Please <br />submit proof that the public review copy has been updated or a copy of the response to this adequacy letter <br />has been added to it. <br />All additional information will be forwarded to the Logan County Clerk and Recorder for inclusion <br />with the public review copy. <br />25. Please submit the notarized agreements between the Operator and the persons having interests in the structures <br />provided in the Incompleteness Response letter received March 23, 2015, or submit other documentation in <br />accordance with Rule 6.4.19. <br />We are agreeing to mine no closer than 200 feet to the structures on property owned by Roman and <br />Tiffany Contet, Darrell and Shirley Smith, Gregory and Jill Yocumb, and Wayne and Debra Klee. No <br />structure agreements have been pursued. <br />To make the process more efficient, the Division has attached the new Performance warranty form which will <br />need to be filled out, notarized, and returned prior to permit issuance. <br />The newly provided Performance warranty has been completed and notarized. It is included as an <br />attachment.
