Dear Mr. Lewicki:
The Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology has begun the review process for the above referenced
112c application. Staff has identified the following issues which need to be clarified or corrected in
order for the application process to continue.
1) Per Rule 6.2.1(2)(b), all maps must be signed by the qualified person preparing them. None of
the maps presented for review have been signed. Please submit new maps with any required
corrections noted below with the required signatures.
2) There is a discrepancy between the first page of the application, maps and plans as to the total
acreage. Although the difference is only.02 acres, please verify that acreage is 36.02 as stated on
the maps and plans or 36.0 as noted on the application.
3) The Mining Plan notes that mining will be done at 2:1 slope to reduce reclamation work, etc.
However, current conditions noted some highwalls that are 15 to 20 feet in height. Please clarify
this issue. Either the highwalls need to be knocked down to 2:1 or the Mine Plan changed to
reflect the existing highwalls, which would effect the reclamation bond calculations.
4) In the Mining Plan there are 2 contradictory sentences regarding total area disturbance, in the
first sentence it is noted that the total disturbance will actually be 11.3 acres. Two sentences
later it states that 21.24 acres will actually be disturbed and reclaimed. For the record, please
clarify the actual amount of the total disturbance area.
5) The Reclamation Map, Exhibit F, does not indicate a connector road or access to the west hay
field. It is assumed that an established access point will be kept. Please clarify and note on the
map if an access point is going to be kept to this area after reclamation is complete.
6) Staff has not received proof of Public Notice Publication as required by Rule 1.6.5.
7) Staff has not received proof of Notice to adjacent landowners, Polsley and Gray as required by
Rule 1.6.2(e).
This review is preliminary and should not be construed as a final. Additional issues may arise that
require correction or clarification as the review process continues.
