Application Package AM01, Nix Gravel Mine,Permit M-2001.046; Response#2
Dear Mr. Scott:
This letter is being generated to satisfy the second review dated June 9,2021 for the Nix Gravel
Mine. The italicized items are the current comment and the bold text are the responses:
Mr. Oliver:
The Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety has completed its second adequacy review of your 112
construction materials reclamation permit amendment application. The application was called complete for
review on March 19, 2021. All comment and review periods began on March 19, 2021. The decision date
for this application is June 17 2021. Please be advised that if you are unable to satisfactorily address any
concerns identified in this review before the decision date, it will be your responsibility to request an
extension of the review period. If there are outstanding issues that have not been adequately addressed
prior to the end of the review period, and no extension has been requested, the Division will deny this
application. In order to allow the Division adequate time to review your responses to any adequacy issues,
please submit your adequacy responses to the Division no later than one week prior to the decision date
(June 10, 2021).
Please note that any changes or additions to the application on file in our office must also be reflected in the
public review copy, which has been placed with the Weld County Clerk and Recorder.
The review consisted of comparing the application content with specific requirements of Rule 6.1, 6.2, 6.4
and 6.5 of the Minerals Rules and Regulations of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board for the
Extraction of Construction Materials. As with most applications, there are items that will require clarification
of the existing information. Any remaining inadequacies are identified under the respective exhibit heading.
EXHIBIT C-Pre-mining and Mining Plan Map(s)of Affected Lands(Rule 6.4.3):
• The projected volumes and locations of the topsoil stockpiles need to be identified on the mining plan
maps. Stating that they will be located"adjacent to"the overburden stockpiles is insufficient. The rule
requires that topsoil be segregated from overburden and maintained for reclamation. What are the
projected volumes of the overburden piles currently shown on the mining plan map?Projected volumes
and locations of the segregated topsoil stockpiles have been called out on the Mining Plan Map.The
projected volumes of the overburden piles have been added to the annotation on the Mining Plan
Map(See attached).
• There is a "batch plant"location shown on the Mining Plan map as a box, however no additional details
are given either on the map or within the revised mining plan. If a concrete or asphalt batch plant is going
to be located at this site, specific configuration information, not just a general location, will need to be
provided on the map and within the mining plan, and the reclamation bond will need to account for the
