Re: Lincoln County; Harold Eichman Gravel Pit File N: .M1985105
Adequacy#3 112 Reclamation Permit CN1 Application
Dear Mr. Stogsdill:
On 28 June 2022, the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (Division/DRMS)
received a 112 Construction Materials Reclamation Permit Conversion(CNI), Application
package from Lincoln County for the Harold Eichman Gravel Pit File No. M1985105.
The operation is anticipated to be active for 10 years, from 2022 through 2023. The post
mining land use specified is general agriculture. The Division received the conversion fee
for a 112 operation as required.
The Division reviewed your application to determine whether it is adequate to meet the
requirements of the Act, upon submittal of all required items. On 11 July 2022 the
application was deemed incomplete for lack of a public notice at the entrance. The
operator provided proof that the notice was posted at the site entrance, and the application
was deemed complete at the end of the day on 11 July 2022.
Preliminary adequacy was provided on 13 July 2022. A partial response to preliminary
adequacy was conducted over the phone on 22 July 2022. DRMS requested that
outstanding adequacy pages be mailed to the Division. DRMS received an email with
revised pages on 4 August 2022. A second adequacy was provided 19 August 2022 and
Lincoln County responded with revised exhibit pages via email.
Adequacy items successfully addressed in previous adequacy letters are not listed below.
Rule 1.6.4 Specific Provision 112 Reclamation Permit Application
DRMS 21 August
DRMS finds that proper notice and publication were not adequately completed. As this is
a conversion from a 110c to a 112 permit the public notice requirement as per Rule
1.6.2(1)(d) must be published four times, once each week over the course of four weeks
and as stated in DRMS's 12 July 2022 email. DRMS received a photograph of a public
notice on 9 September 2022 after requesting the affidavit of publication, however the
information in the notice was inadequate and the notice was published for two not four
weeks.
1. Please submit affidavit of publication that displays the content of the public notice as well
as publication dates as per Rule 1.6.5(2)to DRMS via email and mail to the DRMS
mailing address.
