<br />Dear Party and/or Interested Person:
<br />
<br />The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (Division) appreciates you taking time to participate in
<br />the review process of the above referenced permit application. The application for the 44th Lane Project
<br />was filed with the Division on February 26, 2016, by Fremont Paving & Redi-Mix Inc. (Applicant). The
<br />public comment period for the application closed on April 15, 2016. The review period for the application
<br />will close on May 26, 2016.
<br />
<br />An explanation of the Division’s review process, your rights as either a party or a non-party, and the
<br />jurisdiction of the Mined Land Reclamation Board (Board), is provided in the enclosed 12-page
<br />memorandum, Guide to Citizen Participation, dated October 2, 2001, revised January 12, 2006. As noted
<br />in the citizen’s guide memo, in these proceedings the Division’s authority is limited to enforcement of the
<br />Colorado Land Reclamation Act for the Extraction of Construction Materials, 34-32.5-101 et seq., C.R.S.
<br />(Act) and the Mineral Rules and Regulation of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board for the
<br />Extraction of Construction Materials (Rules), which can be accessed through the Division’s
<br />website, http://mining.state.co.us.
<br />
<br />Prior to the close of the public comment period, the Division received objections to the 44th Lane Project

<br />the application for a Formal Board Hearing for consideration. The hearing has been scheduled for the
<br />June 22, 2016, Board meeting, which will occur at 1313 Sherman Street, Room 318, Denver, Colorado,
<br />beginning at 9:00 a.m. or as soon thereafter as the matter can be considered. During the hearing the Board
<br />will consider the application with objections and may decide to approve, approve with conditions, or deny
<br />the 44th Lane Project 112c Permit Application.
<br />
<br />Pursuant to Rule 2.7.1, the Division will schedule a Pre-hearing Conference to occur between June 6 and
<br />10, 2016. When scheduled, a formal notice of the Pre-hearing Conference will be sent to all parties and
<br />interested persons. The Pre-hearing Conference will be held to describe the Division’s review process, to
<br />explain the rights and responsibilities of parties, to discuss and resolve issues to the extent possible, to
<br />describe the Board Hearing processes, to propose a list of issues under the Board’s jurisdiction, to simplify
