(1) The topsoil source will be the material contained in the <br /> remainder of the north visual berm. <br /> (2) Movement of this soil southward would automatically fix the <br /> erosion that has occurred in the northern and northwestern cut <br /> slopes created during the mining of the mineral. <br /> (3) Additional fill material could be taken from the western visual <br /> berm that is an extension of the south visual berm and extends <br /> northward as far as the access road. But care should be taken to <br /> not create a path for water from the reclaimed area to flow <br /> southwestward and potentially flow into the western portions of <br /> the development to the south. <br /> (4) That disturbance would then be reclaimed in a fashion <br /> consistent with the pit floor. <br /> (5) Care should be taken to "feather"this reclamation into the <br /> currently vegetated land so these two current land types are <br /> provided with a means to blend into each other as much as <br /> possible. <br /> F. Permit transfer (succession of operator) to a new landowner with intent to develop the <br /> land <br /> 1. As land use changes are occurring at an accelerated pace in comparison to <br /> recent years, the opportunity for development of this property for housing is <br /> clearly a possibility. <br /> 2. Such a change in use is consistent with recent changes while operating a <br /> gravel/sand pit is not necessarily consistent. <br /> 3. The owner of nearby developed land has expressed a serious interest in <br /> acquiring this property and developing it. <br /> 4. This possibility could replace the current reclamation plan with a development <br /> plan. <br /> 5. But this would require a change in final land use upon which the permit is <br /> based. That change is customarily done with an amendment, but other options <br /> are available for discussion. <br /> 6. In any event, the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board must approve this <br /> change BEFORE it is implemented. <br /> 7. In general it is expected that the final reclamation release is based upon, at a <br /> minimum, local approval of a development plan and an imminent <br /> implementation of that development plan. (The Board does not bond housing <br /> developments on previously mined land that has not first been fully reclaimed in <br /> accordance with the permitted plan.) <br /> 8. If this permit transfer is instituted the new permittee will be fully informed by <br /> the current permittee as to their responsibilities in managing the permit. This <br /> includes a copy of the entire permit file, the law, the rules and regulations, and <br /> a description of what is needed to gain approval for a change to development of <br /> the land as it affects the permit. <br /> Page 3 of 3 <br />
