Davis <br />Dolores County <br />PO Box 608 <br />Dove Creek, CO 81324 <br /> <br /> <br />Re: Bartley Gravel Pit - File No. M-1984-155 <br /> Dolores County <br /> Surety Release Request (SL-1) <br /> Full/Final Release <br /> <br />Dear Michael S. Davis: <br /> <br />On November 3, 2023 the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety considered your request for a <br />financial warranty release. The Division found that reclamation had not been accomplished at this <br />site and denied this request. Large areas of the permit area are devoid of vegetation - primarily the <br />access road and northwest corner of the pit are still barren. Per Rule 3.1.10(6) these areas will need to <br />be revegetated to at least the equal extent of cover as the natural surrounding vegetation. A state listed <br />noxious weed species was also observed. Per Rule 3.1.10(6) weed control shall be employed for state <br />listed nocious weed species. Please review the October 25, 2023 inspection report for the specific <br />reasons for the financial warranty release denial. <br /> <br />In addition, if you have past due annual fees or unpaid civil penalties, your surety cannot be reduced <br />or released. <br /> <br />In accordance with Rule 1.4.11, any person who can demonstrate that they are directly and adversely <br />affected or aggrieved by an action of the Office, may petition for a hearing before the Board on such <br />action within thirty (30) days of the date of the Office decision, if the decision was a denial, without a <br />hearing. Such petitions for a hearing shall state how the petitioner is directly and adversely affected or <br />aggrieved by the Office’s decision, and how the petitioner’s interests are entitled to protection under <br />the Act. The petitioner shall list and explain any issue the petitioner believes should be considered by <br />the Board at the hearing on the matter. The petition for a hearing shall specify the application or file <br />number assigned by the Office. <br /> <br />If you have any questions, please contact me by telephone at (303) 866-3567 x 8107, or by email at <br />Todd.jesse@state.co.us. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br />
