RE: Tomichi Equipment Pit (Revoked Permit M-83-064) Possible
Addition of Revoked Site to Valco's Ready Mix Pit Permit Area.
Dear Mr. Gregg:
Following your conversation with Mr. James Cooley at the Division's
meeting with County officials in Montrose on June 28, 1995 in which
you presumably again expressed interest in the Tomichi Equipment
Pit, Mr. Cooley asked the Division to see what might be done to
facilitate Valco's adding all or part of the area of the Tomichi
Equipment Pit to your Ready Mix Pit permit area. The Division, not
having enough forfeited bond money to reclaim the entire revoked
site, remains interested in having responsibility for the area
assumed by Valco in order to ensure its eventual reclamation and is
willing to explore with Valco all possible means of bringing this
about.
I have discussed the issue, again, with Bruce Humphries, Minerals
Program Supervisor, and, while neither of us recall exactly where
the Division's earlier discussions with Valco ended, it seems
worthwhile, as a start, to put in writing what the Division feels
it can do, considering the limitations imposed by the Act, in
regard to the use of the forfeited $5,000.00 bond it currently has
for reclamation of the revoked site. As I am sure was indicated
before, the Division does not feel it can simply turn the money
over to Valco for Valco's use in posting the additional reclamation
bond necessary to add the Tomichi site to the Ready Mix Pit permit
area, ie. by an amendment. The Division believes it is required by
Section 34-32-118 (5) of the Act to use any forfeited monies to
reclaim lands covered by the forfeited warranty.
While the responsibility for reclaiming whatever part of the
Tomichi Equipment Pit area that might be added to the Ready Mix Pit
area would be Valco's, the Division does feel it can reduce the
amount of the financial warranty required from Valco for this
additional area by $5,000.00 (less 5~ administrative fee) if the
entire Tomichi site is involved since this money is already
dedicated to the reclamation of the site. This money, however,
