Rationale for Recommendation to Approve 41 <br /> September 29, 2016 <br /> The Division determined that information provided in Exhibit G satisfied the requirements of Rule 6.4.7, <br /> and the applicable performance standards of Rule 3.1. <br /> 52. Concerns that proposed quarry could place significant strain on ability to adequately provide <br /> fire and emergency services to residents and visitors of our fire district-must be able to access all areas <br /> of our fire district to provide professional and reliable emergency services; Concerns regarding how <br /> emergency services will be provided when the only access (Little Turkey Creek Road) is blocked,given <br /> there is no helicopter service possible <br /> (K Wright, C.Kimble) <br /> In these proceedings, the Division's jurisdiction is limited to enforcement of the specific requirements of <br /> the Act and Rules. The Division considers all timely submitted comments in its review, but can address <br /> only the issues that directly relate to the specific requirements of an application, as stated in the Act and <br /> Rules. <br /> The Act and Rules do not specifically address issues of fire district access. Therefore, these concerns are <br /> not within the purview of the Division's jurisdiction and are not a basis to deny the permit. These issues <br /> are typically addressed at the local government level and not at the State government level. Please direct <br /> such concerns to the El Paso County permitting process. <br /> Pursuant to Rule 6.4.13,the Applicant has affirmatively stated that the proposed mine operation will obtain <br /> a Special Use Permit and Construction Permits from El Paso County prior to conducting the proposed <br /> mining and reclamation operations. <br /> 53. Concerns regarding the purpose of the bewildering array of soil types shown in the tables? <br /> Would each soil type be returned to the original pattern instead of mixed by machinery? <br /> (J.Enderson) <br /> Pursuant to Rule 6.4.9(1), in consultation with the SCD or other qualified person, the Applicant shall <br /> indicate on a map or by a statement, the general type, thickness and distribution of soil over the affected <br /> land. Such description will address suitability of topsoil (or other material) for establishment and <br /> maintenance of plant growth. <br /> In Exhibit 1, the Applicant provided information based on the U.S. Department of Agriculture's NRCS <br /> Service soil resources data, showing eight soil map units that have been mapped on the property. It is <br /> unlikely that soil can be returned exactly to its original pattern;however, all available growth medium will <br /> be utilized. <br /> The Division determined the permit application satisfied the requirements of Rule 6.4.9. <br /> 54. Concerns regarding cocktail of seeds given with so many grass species all to be sown on same <br /> newly spread topsoil, which assumes all have same requirements — exceedingly unlikely — does Big <br /> Bluestein even occur on site? <br /> (J.Enderson) <br /> Cp10 <br /> 1313 ,nen-•ian Street, Rooi.. 215, Deover CO 80203 P 303.866.3567 F 303,83z..8106 <br /> )Onti�'`J N=!�f li!UOPZt, C;!t�t'itiOl �COhL-'�t �'( Rcl:�{�d.., EX'tiUt"'E'Direr or V�`;_1im3 Br•_annon, D'it'�sof <br /> 4 ' <br /> ,I87 <br />
