Dear Mr. Nelson:
Listed below are adequacy review comments on the Ashbaugh Gravel Pit Application, File Number M-

decision no later than September 30, 2005, therefore, your response to the following adequacy review
concerns should be submitted to the Division as soon as possible.
1. As required by Rule 1.6.2 (1)(g), please submit the proof of publication of the public notice circulated
in the local newspaper, and proof of notice to all owners of record of surface lands that are in or
within 200 feet of the boundary of the affected land, including easement holders. Proof of notice may
be Certified Mail return receipts or proof of personal service.
Rule 6.3.2 Exhibit B -Site Description
2. To help substantiate the reported 2-inch topsoil depth at the site, please provide the soil survey map
for the site corresponding to the soil type reports provided. On the map, ensure that the permit site is
outlined.
3. Please identify the owner of the fence shown within 200 feet of the pit boundary, and provide proof of
notice to the owner.
Rule 6.3.3 Exhibit C- Mining Plan
4. Since the overview indicates this pit will be used intermittently, the applicant may want to include a
statement that conforms to the provisions of Section 34-32.5-103(11)(b), C.R.S., as noted in Rule
6.3.3{a) to preclude the need to file a notice of temporary cessation for what will be normal
operations.
5. Per Rule 6.3.3{b), please clarify whether the topsoil will be reapplied on a graded area within a year
after salvage. If not, please describe how the topsoil will be stockpiled and stabilized with a
vegetative cover or other means until used in reclamation.
