After examining the inspection report, comparing it <br />to the site and the permit I found quite a large number of errors in <br />your report. In general it appears to me that pour comparison of the <br />site conditions to the permit was performed with reference to a permit <br />description that is no longer effective. It appears that most of the <br />discrepancies you discuss are wi[h reference to the plan submitted and <br />approved back in 1980. <br />In 1985 an amendment was submitted and approved for this operation and <br />the immediately contiguous Castle Concrete operation. Both of those <br />permit amendments were prepared, processed, and approved together <br />because the reclamation of one site is dependent upon what occurs on the <br />adjacent site. There are other operations in the state where operators <br />that have far less corporate linkage than Transit Mix and Castle <br />Concrete have what might be called "cooperative reclamation plans". So <br />this is not unique. Many of the figures and comments in your inspection <br />report do not reflect the changes made by the 1985 amendments. Those <br />amendments were intended to replace the previously approved plans, as <br />will be discussed later. Therefore, the 1980 plan which may still be in <br />a red, vinyl binder, is no longer effective. The new plans included in <br />the 1985 amendment, which should be in a lime green binder, are the ones <br />that should be used in determining what is supposed to happen on the <br />site. In the unlikely event the 1985 permit amendment is not included <br />in your files we would be happy to provide you with a copy. <br />
