Hickenlooper, Governor | Robert Randall, Executive Director | Virginia Brannon, Director <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br /> <br />To: Tim Cazier; DRMS <br /> <br />From: Elliott Russell; DRMS <br /> <br />Date: October 18, 2016 <br /> <br />Re: Follow-up Adequacy Review; Amendment 11 Application (AM-11) and Amended AM-11 <br />Cresson Project; DRMS File No. M-1980-244 <br /> <br /> <br />This letter refers to the Division’s July 21, 2016 Adequacy Review and the Applicant’s October 3, 2016 <br />Adequacy Response. Inadequate, incomplete, or responses that require additional clarification/information <br />are listed as inadequate and are identified by the same adequacy item number. The Division’s follow-up <br />adequacy is in normal font. Additional adequacy items 49-54 follow the inadequacies. <br /> <br />6.4.5 Exhibit E - Reclamation Plan <br /> <br />4. Response to Adequacy Item 4 is inadequate. <br /> <br />Pursuant to Rule 3.1.9 and Rule 6.4.4, please clarify if the stockpile shown on Drawing C-2a that <br />is identified as “soil stockpile” is the 1,784 cubic yard growth medium stockpile, as referenced in <br />the response. Please revise Drawing C-2a to reflect the correct identification of the stockpile and <br />to eliminate any confusion that this soil is stockpiled for backfilling of the ponds. The Division <br />suggests the Applicant add an insert-map to Drawing C-4b, showing the Carlton Tunnel area and <br />the location of this growth medium stockpile; this will allow one map with consistent formatting <br />that depicts all growth medium storage locations of the Cresson Project. <br /> <br />10. Response to Adequacy Item 10 is inadequate. <br /> <br />In accordance with Rule 6.4.6(a), please depict, on Drawing F-1, the 254 acres in the Main <br />Cresson Mine and the 311 acres in the East Cresson Wildhorse Extension Mine where the <br />Applicant proposes to not replace plant growth medium. <br /> <br />11. Response to Adequacy Item 11 is inadequate. <br /> <br />The response to Adequacy Item 11 and the updated Table 5-4, state that growth medium <br />stockpile 1A/1B is estimated to contain 222,000 cubic yards. The original Table 5-4 stated that <br />this stockpile would be constructed to contain an estimated capacity of 92,000 cubic yards. <br />Please clarify this discrepancy and provide details on if the addition of 130,000 cubic yards of <br />growth medium would increase the size of stockpile 1A/1B footprint, as depicted on Drawing C- <br />4b. <br />
