Mr. Tom Schreiner <br />May 25, 2005 <br />Page 12 <br /> <br />• The applicant must apply for and receive an approved, valid, Highway Access Permit from <br />the County prior to initiating any operations. <br />VIII. SUMMARY <br />Black Hawk respectfully requests the Board deny the applicant's Regular (112) Construction <br />Materials Operation Reclamation Pennit File No. M-2004-067, based on the following non- <br />compliance witfi the NLRB Rules and Acts: <br />1. The application is not complete per items listed below: <br />a. The applicant has not obtained the required permits, licenses, and approvals. <br />b. The applicant has not provided engineering to show structures within 200 feet of the <br />highway access road will not be damaged, or obtained a notarized letter from the <br />structure owners for making the applicant accountable for paying compensation for <br />damage to the structures caused by mining operations. <br />c. The applicant has not provided information to show Black Hawk's water rights will <br />not be injured by the mining operation. <br />d. The applicant has not provided an environmental assessment of the project area. <br />e. The applicant has not provided adequate information to evaluate the proposed <br />sedimentation ponds and drainage channels. <br />. f. The applicant's Reclamation Plan is incomplete as documented in ERO letter <br />(attached). <br />2. The information required by the NLRB Rules, including evidence that the operation will <br />comply with the applicable ground water performance standards under Rule 3, was not <br />provided by the applicant. <br />The information required by the NLRB Rules because the operation is expected to directly <br />affect the ground water system (NLRB Rules, §6.4.7(2), has not been provided by the <br />applicant. <br />4. Cottonwood Creek is within the proposed site boundaries. The application incorrectly states <br />that "There aze no perennial streams ... on the permit property." Exhibit G does not <br />correctly reflect these facts. <br />~~ <br />J <br />5. Based on the information presented above, major impacts to the hydrologic balance and <br />ground water system will occur during reclamation; therefore, the application does not <br />comply with CMLR Act 34-32-116(7). <br />6. The applicant has not yet applied for or obtained a NPDES permit. NLRB Rules require the <br />applicant to either have the NPDES permit in hand or have applied to CDPHE for the <br />necessary NPDES permit at the time of its 112 permit application submittal. <br />J LEONARD RICE ENGINEERS.
