Krueger, Administrative Assistant <br />Kiowa County Commissioners <br />1305 Goff <br />P.O. Box 591 <br />Eads, CO 81036 <br />RE: Chivington Grazing Association Gravel Pit (Permit M-83-I 19) September 29. 2000 response to compliance <br />problems identified during Division inspection on July 17, 2000 <br />Dear Ms. Krueger: <br />The Division has received Kiowa County's above referenced response in regard to Compliance Problems I and 2 <br />identified in the Division's report of the inspection of the pit on July 17, 2000. The status of the corrective actions <br />reported by [he County in regard to these problems is as follows: <br />Compliance Problem 1): Failure to clearly mark the north and east curved portion of the boundary of the <br />approved permit affected area. <br />This problem is considered abated as a result of the County's report that the boundary has been marked. <br />DIVISION OF <br />MINERALS <br />GEOLOGY <br />R E C L A M A T I O N <br />MINING•SAFETY <br />Bin ovens <br />Gneernor <br />Greti E watcher <br />Eseculnc Ducclor <br />hLChael B. LOng <br />Drvismn Direanr <br />Compliance Problem 2): Conflict between approved mining plan and reclamation plan in regard to <br />salvaging sufficient topsoil at the site to complete the reclamation plan. <br />This problem is considered abated if the commitment to import enough topsoil to satisfy the requirements <br />of the reclamation plan is included in the permit as a Technical Revision. Since the County's commitment <br />addresses the most important result of the existing conFlict between the requirements of the mining and reclamation <br />plans, i.e. a deficiency in salvaged and stockpiled topsoil, and clarifies the County's intention [o provide enough <br />topsoil to complete the reclamation plan, the Division will consider the commitment as a Technical Revision to the <br />permit and accept it without the County being charged an application fee. However, if the County does not agree <br />that the commitment is to be considered a Technical Revision to the permit, the Division should be notified of this <br />in writing prior to the revision decision date of November I, 2000. <br />If you have any questions on the above, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />James C. Stevens <br />Sr. Specialist <br />
