Proof of Required Notices: Newspaper publication of a notice (published once a week <br />for four consecutive weeks) regarding the filing of your application and transmittal of a <br />copy of the notice to all owners of record of surface and mineral rights, holders of any <br />recorded easements, and all owners of record of lands that are within 200 feet of the <br />boundary of the affected land (this includes the additional proposed affected area, as <br />well as the existing affected area) is required within 10 days of submittal. You must <br />submit proof of the notice and mailings, such as Certified Mail Return Receipt Requested, <br />to the Division prior to the decision date. Please provide this documentation <br />demonstrating: a) proof of publishing the notice in the local newspaper, and b) proof of <br />mailing the notice to all owners of record of lands that are within 200 feet of the boundary <br />of the affected land. <br /> <br />Response: Provided herein are the Affidavit of Publication and Certified Mail Return Receipts for <br />property owners within 200 ft. of the affected area. <br /> <br />APPLICATION <br />2. Permit Number: There is a typo in the listed permit number. It should be M-1977-344. If <br />the form is resubmitted (see Comment 3 below), please ensure the correct permit number <br />is used. <br /> <br />Response: The permit number on the application form is corrected to M-1977-344. <br /> <br />3. Change of Site Name: The Operation name listed on the AM-2 Application Form is “Red <br />Creek Quarry aka Bear Creek Quarry”. During our November 2nd inspection, a shorter <br />site name was discussed. Please confirm the name Holcim wants to use for this site <br />going forward. If the name is to be different from that on the amendment application form, <br />please resubmit the application form with the new Operation name. <br /> <br />Response: Since the application is an amendment to Portland Limestone Quarry, the <br />name of the site will be the plural, Portland Limestone Quarries. The new limestone <br />deposit will be referred to as Red Creek Quarry. The name is changed on the application <br />form. <br />
