On <br /> May 22,2014,the Division received the$216 review fee and deemed the application complete <br /> for the purposes of filing. <br /> The pit area is incised and exhibits internal drainage. The floor of the pit area is above the <br /> elevation of the water table. The proposed revision appears compliant with the applicable <br /> requirements of Rule 3.1.6,which requires the operation be conducted in a manner which <br /> minimizes impacts to the prevailing hydrologic balance. The revision documents include a copy <br /> of Conejos County Resolution No.2014-ARI,approving the operation for the production of <br /> asphalt and concrete products. The County resolution clarifies the proposed use will be <br /> protective of surface and ground water resources. <br /> On May 22, 2014,the Division completed its review of the revision and approved TR-02. There <br /> is no adjustment to the financial warranty resulting from TR-02. <br /> Sin�ere � � <br /> Wallace H.
