RE: Kiewit Carr Sand & Gravel (M-2020-029)Response to Adequacy Review Comments
Dear Daniel:
The purpose of this letter is to respond to the comments you provided in your August 6, 2020
Adequacy Review for the Kiewit Carr Sand & Gravel 112c Construction Material Conversion
Application, designated M-2020-029. The responses are formatted to match the order of the
comments received.
In addition,this letter provides a response to issues noted during the August 12,2020 pre-operation
inspection. These responses are provided in the last section of the letter.
Rule 6.4.1 Exhibit A—Legal Description
1. Kiewit's intent with this 112c application is to permit the entire section (consisting of 640
acres) within the permit boundary. The area listed in paragraph 3 of the application form,
being 541 acres, is the original estimate of the area to be mined after deducting for the
buffers around Lone Tree Creek and the various cultural resources found on site. However,
Kiewit desires that the entire 640 acres be included in the permit boundary as it may be
potentially affected by mining operations. In order to clarify this, a new page 1 of the
application form listing the correct permitted acreage amount of 640 acres is attached.
2. An updated Exhibit A specifying the parcel number for the proposed permit area is
attached. There is no address for the property.
3. An updated Exhibit A specifying the coordinates of the main entrance to the site is attached.
Rule 6.4.2 Exhibit B—Index May
4. An updated Exhibit B more clearly labeling the adjacent roads is attached.
Rule 6.4.3 Exhibit C—Pre-Mining and Mining Plan Map(s) of Affected Land
5. Updated Exhibit C maps that include the name of the applicant and are signed by the PE
who prepared the maps are attached.
6. The attached Exhibit C-1 map more clearly labels County Road 23.
