DRMS finds that Moffat County Mining LLC, addressed this rule adequately.
Rule: 4.16(13) Alternative Land Use
October 2020 DRMS: DRMS compared Maps Map 3 Premining Land Use, and the submitted Map
29 Reclamation Plan Map. It appears that the land use designations have changed from pastureland
to cropland in areas along the Williams Fork River and to cropland in various parts of the permit
area. Land use changes may be approved by the Division as per Rule 4.16.3 through a permitting
action and consultation with landowners or land management agency.
7. Please demonstrate that Moffat County Mining has received the approval for all changes
in land use between the two maps and can meet the requirements of Rule 4.16(13)(6).
2020 December DRMS: DRMS received a landowner letter regarding the proposed land use change
from Sage Creek Holdings, meeting the requirements of this rule.
A letter from the State Land Board is outstanding and MCM on receipt of this letter will provide
the letter to DRMS thus updating the record with The Division.
DRMS finds that Moffat County Mining LLC, addressed this rule adequately upon receipt of Land
Board concurrence.
Review of Revised Pates
Page 2.05-25 under heading Reclamation Timetable and Costs references Table 67 and Exhibit 25.
With TR38 DRMS believes that the information in the table and the exhibit may require updating.
8. Please either update Table 67 and Exhibit 25 or provide a rationale as to why the information
should remain as currently documented in the permit.
It appears to DRMS that the discussion of Pond reclamation on page 2.05-31-1 should possibly
include information on the possible future request for permanent ponds.
9. Please review this page as there appears to be missing language in paragraph heading: Fresh
Water System, regarding the retention of a permanent features.
10. Also, language with regards to the sealing of the boreholes changed. Please explain the
change in the borehole language.
2020 December DRMS:
DRMS finds that Moffat County Mining LLC, addressed this rule adequately, updating all permit
pages in question.
