COLORADO <br />Division of Reclamation, <br />Mining and Safety <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />July 19, 2016 <br />Andre LaRoche <br />Transit Mix Concrete Company <br />444 East Costilla Street <br />Colorado Springs, CO 80903 <br />RE: Recommendation for Extension of the Review Period, <br />Hitch Rack Ranch Quarry, File No. M-2016-010 <br />Dear Mr. LaRoche: <br />On August 5, 2016, the review period for the above referenced application will close and the Office shall <br />render its recommendation on the application. On August 24-25, 2016, the Board will consider the Office's <br />recommendation, the permit application and the objections, and will decide to approve, approve with <br />conditions, or deny the application. <br />The review process for complex applications with public objections, similar to the Hitch Rack Ranch <br />Quarry, routinely includes numerous exchanges of adequacy issues between the Office and Applicant, as <br />necessary for the Applicant to demonstrate the adequacy of the application. If there remain unresolved <br />adequacy issues at the close of the review period the Office is mandated to render a less than favorable <br />recommendation on the application, pursuant to section 34-32.5-115(4) C.R.S. <br />The deadlines by which the Office renders a recommendation and the Board makes a decision are set by <br />Rule 1.4.9. These deadlines may be extended by request from the Applicant, pursuant to Rule 1.4.1(10). <br />Therefore, the Applicant is encouraged to request an extension to the review period whereby the Board <br />hearing for consideration of the application, with objections, is extended from August 24-25, 2016, to <br />September 28-29, 2016. Upon receipt of an extension request from the Applicant, the Office shall <br />reschedule the Board hearing and determine the new dates for the Office's recommendation and Pre - <br />hearing Conference. The Office shall notice all parties and interested persons of the extended review <br />period and the rescheduled Pre -hearing Conference and Board hearing. <br />Sincerely, I <br />Wallace H.
