COLORADO <br /> LA <br /> Division of Reclamation, <br /> Mining and Safety <br /> 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br /> Denver,Colorado 80203 <br /> December 19, 2018 <br /> Ms. Juliet Moores <br /> Elk Creek Sand and Gravel, LLC <br /> PO Box 416 <br /> Conifer CO 80433-0416 <br /> RE: Response to Submittal dated December 10, 2018 to DRMS for Permit M-1978-208, Elk <br /> Creek Sand and Gravel, Schaffers Crossing Quarry <br /> Ms. Moores, <br /> As of December 14, 2018, DRMS is in receipt of your submittal package including a check for$216.00. <br /> The cover letter submitted with these materials suggests that this package is intended to address several <br /> outstanding issues with this operation: <br /> 1) Confirmation of submittal of the 2018 annual report, fee, and map. <br /> 2) Confirmation of submittal of the $323 civil penalty for MV-2018-039. <br /> 3) Submittal of the 2018 geotechnical assessment of the high-wall which is required by Permit <br /> Stipulation#2 as a part of the annual report for this site. <br /> 4) Request to petition MLRB for permit reinstatement at the January 23, 2019 hearing. <br /> 5) Submittal of the required $216 fee for a Technical Revision (TR). It appears that the intent of <br /> the Operator is to submit TR04 for a weed control plan, which was required as a corrective <br /> action by a DRMS inspection conducted in January of 2018. <br /> DRMS acknowledges receipt of the 2018 annual report, fee, and map, as well as the $323 civil penalty <br /> for MV-2018-039. The Division is currently reviewing the submitted geotechnical assessment to <br /> determine if it satisfies the annual reporting requirements for Stipulation#2. The Division generally <br /> requires geotechnical assessments of this kind to be completed utilizing data obtained from material <br /> testing and on-site observations, and certified by an independent third-party geotechnical engineer to <br /> insure that the report meets an industry standard level of care. This has not been done for this submittal. <br /> You will be notified in a separate letter of the Division's determination with respect to the geotechnical <br /> report, and the status of your request to address the MLRB for permit reinstatement. <br /> With respect to the submittal of TR04 for a weed control plan, DRMS has now received the required <br /> $216 fee, but not a complete weed control plan. The only related item in the DRMS file at this time is <br /> what appears to be the first three pages of a weed control plan"template"that was submitted as an <br /> electronic attachment to the 2018 annual report. The submittal of the TR for a weed control plan will be <br /> 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3567 F 303.832.8106 http://mining.state.co.us = J? <br /> John W.
