ADEQUACY REVIEW
for
Dorchester - Fruita Mine Numbers 1 and 2
April 9, 1981
2.03.9 Personal Injury and Property Damage Information

The applicant is advised that since the expiration dates of the insurance policy
are May and June, 1981, this policy will have to be reinstated prior to issuance
of a permit under the Colorado Permanent Program. Also, the policy shown is
insufficient in detail to determine whether the minimum coverage for bodily or
property damage have been met.
2.03.10 Identification of Other Licenses and Permits
1. Please supply the Division with an explanation of the present status of the
NPDES permit. It is noted that your previous permit expired on December 3, 1980.
Have you reapplied?
2. Have any decisions regarding a conditional use permit for the rail siding
been made?
2.04.3 General Requirements: Site Descriptions and Land Use Information
The map supplied is not a land use map. This map should delineate all lands
identified by the categories given in 1.04 under, "Land Use" (definition 71) and
should be prepared at a scale of not less than 1:24,000 as required by 2.10.
2.04.4 Cultural and Historic Resource Information
The archeological sites described in the report as occurring within two miles
of the study area should be located on the map. It is important to determine
whether any aspect of the mining operation could potentially impact these
resources. The State Historical Preservation Office currently is assisting us
on the review of this material. Further comments may be forthcoming.
2.04.6 Geology Description
1. The permit boundaries and mine workings (face-up area) should be indicated
on Map A-GEO and C-GEO. It is difficult to identify the proposed development
of the mine relative to these features.
2. The applicant should supply a regional geology map showing major lithologic
units and major fault systems in the area.
3. The coal analyses submitted by the applicant lack information regarding
pyrite. These data are required to satisfy section 2.04.6(2)(a)(iii)(c).
Additional data should be supplied to the Division to constitute a complete
chemical analysis of the coal. Please refer to the list of parameters in the
Appendix A. These parameters are required to assess the chemical nature of
the disturbed materials such that their potential effect on the quality of the
ground and surface waters can be realized.
4. The applicant has supplied lithologic logs for drill holes SC-1, SC-1C, SC-3,
SC-4 and SC-6 but locations are not given on Map A-GEO for these holes. Conversely,
