Re: Preliminary Review of a 112 Construction Materials Reclamation Permit Application Package, Parcel
122 Resource Development Project, Permit M2015-033
Mr. Janes:
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 September 8, 2015. All comment and review periods began on September 8, 2015. The decision date for
this application is December 7, 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
(December 1, 2015).
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, and proof of this submitted
to DRMS.
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 G - Water Information (Rule 6.4.7): Please submit the appropriate permits and well
completion records for all piezometers and commit to providing all water level data as part of the annual
report submitted to DRMS. A water level monitoring plan detailing proposed monitoring activities and
possible corrective actions to be implemented if adverse impacts are documented will also be required.
Please also provide documentation to verify that well agreements have been pursued with all water well
owners within 600 feet of the permit boundary as required by the SEO office.
EXHIBIT H - Wildlife Information (Rule 6.4.8): The e-mail issued by the US Dept. of the Interior Fish
and Wildlife Service serving as an ESA Clearance Letter (included in Exhibit H of the application) expired
on September 18, 2013. Please provide a new valid clearance letter, or proof of extension of the previous
granted clearance.
