RE: Second Adequacy Letter, Colona Pit, File No. M-94-005, Montrose County
Dear Mr. McGehee:
Per our phone conversation March 31, 1994 there are a few more items that need to be addressed in
order to satisfy the requirements of the Mined Land Reclamation Act and the Mineral Rules and
/Regulations.
J 1. It was mentioned at the informal conference that a weigh station (scale) will be part of the
equipment within the permit area. This was not included in the application. If you intend to
have a weigh station in the permit area it must be shown on all the maps and you must
provide enough information (structure dimensions, if concrete will be used as a foundation
/ for the building, etc.) to determine reclamation costs.
/ 2. There was mention of paving the access road. This is not included in the application. Please
provide a narrative explaining exactly what you plan to do.
~~ 3. Pursuant to my pre-operation inspection report, dated February 17, 1994, you must mitigate
the structures that are located within 200' of the proposed affected area.
~4. The State Historical Society must provide the operator with an exemption letter if an
archeological survey is not required. Please contact Jim Green for a determination of their
requirements. Send a copy of all correspondence to the DMG.
I am enclosing copies of the objection letters I received at the informal conference. Of note,
are the concerns about radon gas emissions (Todd Richardson), noise abatement under state statute
25-12-101 (Cindy Bowen, County Commissioner) and Stuart Chappell's concern about a culvert on
the irrigation ditch. Please address these concerns and copy the DMG with all correspondence.
Pursuant to Rule I.5 your response to the above noted adequacy requirements will constitute
changes to your application. A copy of the changes must be given to the County Clerk and
Recorder and proof that the Clerk and Recorder received the changes must be sent to the Division.
Within five (5) working days after receiving the amended f'ding, the Division shall set a new date
for the consideration of the application.
