representatives that they must submit a land use change application
• to Gunnison County to address these issues. A public hearing was
conducted October 4, 1991; a copy of the minutes of that hearing
are attached to this recommendation, and are hereby incorporated
into this record. No time limitation on submittal of evidence to
this hearing was set by the Commission. This recommendation
incorporates by review all submittals and testimony submitted
subsequent to the public hearing.
(Discussion of the Somerset Mine land use change permits also
have been scheduled agenda items at Planning Commission meetings
September 20, and October 18, 1991, and January 10 and 24, March
20, and April 3, 1992.)
A follow-up inspection was conducted by the MLRD December 5,
1991. That Coal Inspection Report noted that, though, 'Dusting of
the snow was noted adjacent to the state highway, but this did not
extend more than 10-15 feet. The roofs of houses that were more
than 20 feet from the highway did not appear to have dust on the
snow when viewed from the highway.
"No problems were noted. This mine is in compliance with the
Regulations of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board and with
the terms of the permit."
Upon verbal counsel by its attorney, the Planning Commission
is reviewing the issues of relocation of the coal stockpiles and
the unpermitted use of the access road as separate permits (minutes
of Planning Commission meeting November 8, 1991).
This review and recommendation is solely of the relocation of
the coal stockpiles. Separate, and parallel review is occurring on
the reclassification of the haul road, as a Major Impact. However,
relocation of the stockpiles also affects the access road in that
some road realignment/relocation is necessary to accommodate new
stockpile location. Public access to the Somerset Cemetery and
water tank has historically been this road. At the Planning
Commission's April 24 meeting, the proponent indicated willingness
to provide continued public access and year-round road maintenance
for the life of the mine.
