In 2011, the Schmidts began excavating and leveling sites on the property <br /> to have sites for a residence, an earth-sheltered workshop/storage building, and outdoor parking and <br /> storage with a connecting road. Because they had significant excess material (soil and borrow(earth)), <br /> he used that for his landscaping business and to people needing fill and soil. A complaint was filed with <br /> CDRMS which required them to obtain a mining and reclamation permit from the state, as well as county <br /> approval, including the CUP approved by the referenced 2014 letter. He has done enough excavation <br /> and site preparation that he no longer needs to remove material from the property. Your last inspection <br /> determined that the reclamation permit can be terminated provided that the County will verify that it will <br /> continue to oversee the work remaining to prepare the site, and of course, install/erect buildings and <br /> structures. <br /> The Schmidts have asked me to coordinate this, include it in the annual report (which I am doing for <br /> them), and have requested the verification from the County that the 2014 CUP still applies (attachment 2). <br /> When that is verified, I will request termination of the state permit. <br /> This letter with attachments will be attached to the 2018 annual report. Please call or email me with any <br /> questions. Thank you for your assistance! <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Nathan A. Barton, CE, PE, DEE, Comptroller, <br /> WASTELINE, INC. (Project Engineer) <br />
