Re: Westside Gravel, File No. M-2003-003, New 112c Application, Preliminary Adequacy Reyiew Letter.
Dear Mr. Shaw,
I have completed my preliminary review of the new 112c permit application named above, and have a few
questions which must be addressed before the decision date. Please respond as completely as possible to each of
the following items which request clarification. Arranging your responses in the same order as this letter or
properly labeling them will facilitate our review:
Exhibit C -Pre-mining and Mining Plan Maps (Rule 6 4 31
The adjoining landowner map (Exhibit C-a) shows a 200-acre parcel and the parcels adjoining or within 200 feet on
all sides of it. The proposed permit area is 100 acres, but it is not specifically delineated on the map. It is presumed
to consist of the western half of the delineated 200-acre parcel Please clarify this.
The landowner map also contains two numbered parcels which lie within 200 feet of the proposed boundary, but
are not identified as the owners on the list of landowners. The pazcel numbers aze: Ref # 25709 and Ref # 25719.
Please provide the names of these parcel owners.
The list of affected and adjoining landowners contains the name Robert P. Johnson, who is indicated as the owner
of the parcel upon which this proposed permit is located (Ref # 25817). Elsewhere in the application you have
identified the affected landowner as "Durango PTR Properties, LLC." Please clarify this discrepancy.
The Pre-mining Map (Exhibit C-b) and the Reclamation Map (Exhibit F) show several surveyed and locatable
comers, with a metes and bounds perimeter description. These two maps do not contain a labeled "permit area
boundary," nor a labeled "affected area boundary." Since the proposed permit acreage is represented as
"approximately 100 acres" (per Exhibit A), the boundary is assumed to possibly be defined by these surveyed
points shown on the map. However, since a significant segment of the county road lies wholly within the area these
points define, it becomes unclear whether you plan to affect areas west of the county road or exactly where the
boundary is. Since these two maps, as well as Mining Map Phase 1 and 2 (Exhibit C-c), contain no labeled
boundaries, you must revise the maps and provide the corrected versions. Please be reminded that if you plan to
delineate specific areas of your permit which will not be affected (such as west of the county road or a buffer
around the perimeter), by delineating those areas you will be defining the "affected area boundary," which must be
labeled also.
All maps must be prepared by a person qualified to do so, and signed and dated by the person preparing the maps.
The scale shown on the maps is incorrect. Please provide the correct scale on the revised maps.
