RE: Walsenburg Gravel Pi[ (File M-2000-092) Results of Division's adequacy review of I IOc permit application
Dear Mr. Gagliano:
DIVISION OF

RECLAMATION

gill Owens
Governor
Creg E. Walther
Execwive Director
Michael B. Long
Div~s~an Director
The Division has completed its review of the adequacy of the permit application for the Walsenburg Gravel Pit and
has identified the following concerns:
NOTICES: The permit application does not contain evidence of the publication of a newspaper notice of the
application as required by Rule 1.6.2(1)(d).
OK" The applicant must provide evidence of satisfying the requirements of this Rule in order that the Division
be able [o consider approval of the application.
WARRANTIES: Although the City of Walsenburg is not required to provide a Financial Warranty guaranteeing the
completion of reclamation for the site, a Performance Warranty is required in order that a permit be issued. There is
~~ no Performance Wartanty furnished with the permit application.
The applicant must provide an acceptable Perfornance Warranty in order that [he Division be able to issue
a permit for the operation.
EXHIBCC A (RULE 6.3.1(2)): The map provided with the permit application is a good one, but the legal
description of the permit made in the upper left corner is confusing. The description appears to include all the
access road, i.e. newer and older portions, in the permit area. In addition, that portion of the access road that the
n Division understands is to be included in [he permit area, i.e. the last 800 tee[, is not outlined in the fashion, i.e.
~` with the type of line, as indicated in the map legend or used for [he bulk of-the permit area.
ae The applicant should provide a revised Exhibit A map (and Exhibit E maps) that includes only the legal
description of the land intended to be included in the permit area and also outlines all land intended to be included
:,tf dpi( in the proposed permit area with the type of line that corresponds to the map legend.
~-B'~ ~ EXHIBIT C (RULE 6.3.3(b)): it appears that the topsoil salvaged and stockpiled is not intended for immediate use;
Y~ therefore it should be stabilized with vegetative cover as required by this Rule. There is no commitment in the
permit application to do this.
The applicant should commit to stabilize the stockpiled topsoil and describe how that will be done.
U~'t EXHIBCp C (RULE 6.3.3(k)): The Rule requires a description of how refuse or acid or toxic producing materials
_I~P/' will be handled and disposed if exposed during mining and not a statement indicated that they will not be exposed.
`, ~tl/" The applicant should meet the requirements of this Rule.
N III IIIIIIIIIIIII III
STATE OF COLORADO
( EXHIBIT D (RULE 6.3.4(c )(ii)): The statement "40N/A available N and P ....will be applied ...at the rate of
~` 4,000k?A." is obviously confusing.
The applicant must clarify the meaning of this statement.
