• • '\ January 2, 1970 Nr. Charlaa Barry, Esq. Attorney's Office E1 Paeo County, Colorado Dear Hr. Berry We have recently received 30 applications for mining and reclamation permits. for the gravel pits operated by EZ Paeo County. Tlie applications aze apparently the county's attempts at compliance with 34-32-101 C.R.S. 1973 ae emended (the Colorndo tdined ).and Reclamation Act).

The E1 Paeo applicntiotis wire reviewed by several board members at tl~e December 21 board meeting, and tl~e board has specifically requestod that you be advised of tl~e inedgQsate nature of t1~e applications. The particular deficiencies of tF.e recently eabodttad applications era itemised below. (1) No application face were submitted. On each application it is noted that the application fee ie "unknown due to weather con- ~ - ditione." (2) The exhibits were not submitted. or those that ware are not proper. For example. the description in your purchase orders will not suffice ae a legal description of the property. (3) No acreage figures ware submitted for each gravel pit. All the applications note that the affected acreage "would depend on acts of God." The general practice ie to simply eetiaate the total acreage to be affected by the operation. (4) The proposed future land use hen not been identified for any of the gravel pits. Each application notes that "the landowner has not informed E1 Paeo County." The county should simply work out an acceptable land use for the reclaimed land with the landowner. In mast sense, the future use is simply graain4 land or dry land farming. The purpose of this requirement should be obvious -- the reclamation plan should be designed with the future land use in mind. (S~ Only a general map tas submitted with the applications. Amore detailed map should be submitted for each application. (6) The zequieite information about wildlife wan not submitted. The Colorado Division of Wildlife will assist in providing this in- foroation, but it is incumbent upon the applicaafoeo obtain the
