4/7/93 DMG letter to OSM <br />Letter lists 3 topics that DMG and AFO asked the WSC to provide guidance on. <br />The third point is, <br />"Is an alternate post-mine land use designation necessary for facilities <br />which are approved in the reclamation plan as permanent facilities which support <br />the approved post-mine land use? What factors should be considered in <br />determining whether facilities support a given land use? What factors should be <br />considered in determining whether the alternate post-mine land use regulations <br />are pertinent to retention of facilities after reclamation?" I have no record of <br />WSC's response to this question although, they did respond to the other two <br />points in May, 1993. <br />5/17/93 DMG letter to OSM <br />DMG said no alternate post mine land use was required by regulations because <br />the provisions of the alternate land use rule (4.16) were not relevant and because <br />a single family dwelling is compatible with ranching. The letter says, "In <br />summary, the Division believes that designation of an alternate post-mine land <br />use for retention of a concrete pad of less than a tenth of an acre is not required <br />by the regulations when the proposed use for that structure is compatible with the <br />approved post-mine land use" <br />7/8/93 DMG response to TDN <br />TDN X-93-0244-1 was received on 7/2/93. DMG agreed that a permit defect <br />existed and required the permittee to revise the permit, designating an alternate <br />post mine land use. <br />7/23/93 OSM letter re. TDN <br />This letter is the response to DMG's response to the TDN. It says, "The TDN <br />was issued for the operator's `Failure to follow the approved post mining land use <br />as required by Colorado Rule 2CCR 407-2, Section 4.16.1(1).' ....."The land use <br />change in the #1 mine complex is needed for the office pad and parking lot that <br />was left on the mine."..... "DMG has indicated in the response to the TDN that <br />the mine plan is in conflict with the Colorado regulation. The Division notified the <br />permittee that a revision to the permit must be submitted within thirty days to <br />
