Dear Mr. Miller:
Re 404 Permit Requirement - Request for Opinion
We are preparing a Colorado Mined Land Reclamation permit application
for J-Bar-B, Inc. It is our client's intention to excavate gravel
on both sides of St. Vrain Creek in an area about eight miles
southwest of the location where the St. Vrain joins the South
Platte River. More specifically, mining will occur on parts
of the S/2 NE/4 and SE/4, Section 36, Township 3 North, Range
68 West, 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado.
The operator does not intend to mine in St. Vrain Creek. In
fact, excavation will be set back 100 feet from the creek. The
setback will be used exclusively for temporary stockpiling of
soils and aggregates and for access roads within the confines
of the operation.
There are three or four small areas on the property on which
reeds and cattails grow. Two of these small areas will not be
affected by the mining activity. The other one or two areas
will be mined out and will become part of the pond system shown
on the enclosed map. The operator plans no fill operation of
any kind.
We have reviewed the Permit Program booklet and pamphlet and
it is our conclusion that a 404 permit is not necessary for this
operation. However, in order to satisfy various state and county
agencies, we are requesting an opinion from your department.
If you have any questions, please call us at the
above. We are exerting every effort for an early
the county and the state. Your prompt response
achieve that goal. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
President
