Box 1193 Canon City, CO 81215-1193 Re: Comment Letter, Parkdale Project 112 Reclamation Permit Application, File No. bI-97-054 Dear Ms. Steers: ~~~ DEPARTtiIEIYT Of NATURAL RESOURCE: Roy Rnmer Governor Mmes 5. LachheaA Executive Direcmr M¢hael R. Long Division Oirecror Thank yciu for your letter of comment regarding Agile Stone Systems, Inc.'s proposed Pazkdale Project. I am the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology specialist reviewing the company's application for a state mining Reclamation Permit, which is required by the Colorado Land Reclamation Act for the Extraction of Construction Materials. Some of the concerns you have about the project aze also concerns of our Division and we will be asking the applicant to address them more satisfactorily in their application. These aze: 1. Blasting and its affects on the surrounding azea 2. Geotechnical stability of the quarry highwalls Site reclamation 4. Structures for crossing Tallahassee Creek 5. Affects on surface and groundwater systems You stated another concern about the acreage of their proposed permit azea and the azea to be affected by mining. The applicant's state mining Reclamation Permit Application is for 513.2 acres, of which 73.b acres aze proposed to be affected by extracting and processing granite, gravel, and sandstone. Additional acreage will be affected by roads and rail lines. The application also shows 77.1 acres the operator may want to add to the gravel and granite extraction aeeas in the future. If a permit is issued and the operator wants to add these areas to the permit as land to be affected, he will have to do this by amending his permit which would require the same public notice and review process as his present application. ~T- ATF dF COLORADO Our Division has no jurisdiction over local government controlled land use issues such as the other concerns you have about hours of operation and local traffic issues.
