McGill <br />Rio Grande Portland Cement Company <br />PO BOX 100 <br />Tijeras, NM 87059-0100 <br />Subject: Clarification of Recent Submittal Regarding M-2002-004 Red Rock <br />Cement Plant and Limestone Mine Technical Revision <br />Mr. Brian McGill <br />DIVISION O F <br />MINERALS <br />GEOLOGY <br />RECLAMATION <br />MINING•SAFETY <br />Bill Owens <br />Governor <br />Greg E. Walther <br />Executive Direttor <br />Ronald W. Canany <br />Acting Di/rsion Director <br />The division received your responses to our preliminazy adequacy review on July 8, <br />2002. We aze in the process of reviewing the responses and will notify you of any <br />additional concerns if necessary. One point of clarification that needs to be addressed is <br />the administrative form ofthe response. <br />Normally, responses to adequacy questions are provided as clarification to the original <br />submittal and do not require a sepazate administrative action. On occasion, the response <br />could entail a substantial enough change to the original application so as to be submitted <br />as a technical revision to the application or even an amendment to the application. These <br />types of changes carry with them additional fees and notification requirements. The <br />majority of the responses in your submittal will not be considered as either technical <br />revisions or amendments from an administrative standpoint. <br />Therefore, a short clarification letter stating that the July 8`I' submittal is neither a <br />technical revision nor an amendment should be provided. We understand that these <br />responses are technical in nature and do amend the original submittal, however, the terms <br />technical revision and amendment have specific administrative meaning in our rules and <br />regulations and we do not believe that the July 8t° response is intended to be either. <br />Furthermore, it is our interpretation that these responses do not constitute a technical <br />revision or amendment to the application. <br />With that said, as previously discussed with Mr. Seby and Mr. Devoe, one area that will <br />be considered an administrative technical revision, thereby requiring a sepazate cover <br />letter and fee, is the change for disposal of the plant site demolition materials from off- <br />site to on-site. Please provide a separate submittal that addresses this change with the <br />appropriate fee ($188.00). This submittal can reference the various sections that have <br />already been changed in the July 8`s submittal, however, it must also agree to comply <br />
