mention is that if any legal action arises from a civil court regarding this site or the applicant, you might be named as a defendant to that action. I have enclosed some information with this letter for your use. One form in particular, the "Party Status Request Form," should be filled out and returned with your stated wish to be a party or not, so that we may know how to proceed. I only ask that you respond promptly since our conferences must be put on the calendar very soon. The other parts of the information packet will hopefully explain the Division's and Board's jurisdiction, our review process, and our informal conference process. In specific answer to your two questions at the close of your letter, I hope the following information assists you: 1) I cannot say whether there is anything you can do to stop this operation. They have applied for approvals for several types of activities on this site, including stockpiling, processing, asphalt and concrete hatching. This could tend to expose them to more types of public scrutiny or regulatory oversight. If their DMG permit is issued, they must maintain all necessary equipment permits, control contaminants onsite, operate according to their approved plan, control discharges of process water or runoff, etc., as applicable. As a concerned citizen, we value to opportunity to explain to you how our process works, and appreciate you contacting us if you have a question or concern. 2) Depending on the type of problem or situation of possible non-compliance with the specifics of their permit(s), there are several possible agencies which you could contact. Equipment emission permits are issued by the Air Pollution Control Division of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE). Discharges of process water or stromwater runoff from the site are regulated by the Water Quality Control Division of the CDPHE. Blowing dust issues are often regulated by the local county government, or by the Air Pollution Control Division of the CDPHE. If groundwater is exposed the operator must have an approved water augmentation plan issued by the Colorado Division of Water Resources. Review of ACI's permit application on file at the courthouse will show the other aspects of their proposed operation which we regulate, which we must therefore respond to, in the case of a reported problem. If you have questions or comments, I may be reached at the Division's Durango field office: 701 Camino del Rio, Room 125, Durango, CO 81301; tel 970/247-5193 or fax 970/247-5104. Sincerely, $j~ D~,~.
