The letter was forwazded to <br />Colorado Marble LLC for their consideration. <br />The Division considers your letter a formal objection to the CN-Ol application. Attached is a Citizen Guide that <br />explains the 112-objection process. If you wish to withdraw your objection, you may do so in writing at any time <br />prior to the date that the application will be scheduled before the Mined Land Reclamation Board (NLRB). <br />Please be aware that the Division is unable to grant your request to include a condition to the permit that requires <br />the operator to obtain Chaffee County Land Use approval prior to the beginning of any operations or issuance of the <br />DMG permit. The operator, Colorado Marble LLC, is responsible for assuring the mining operafion and the <br />postmining land use comply with county land use regulations and are subject to zoning and land use authority and <br />regulation as provided by law. Rule 6.4.13 of the Construction Materials Rules and Regulations requires that the <br />operator only provide a statement identifying which permits, licenses and approvals which aze held or will be <br />sought in order to conduct the proposed mining and reclamation operations, including city zoning and land use <br />permits. Colorado Marble has identified that a Chaffee County Conditional Use Permit Amendment will be sought. <br />However, 34-32.5-115(4)(d) requires that the proposed mining and reclamation operation to be in compliance with <br />other laws or regulations of the state of the United States, including all federal, state and local permits, licenses and <br />approvals as applicable to the specific operation. If Colorado Mazble LLC is currently in violation of any other <br />federal, state, or local laws it shall be grounds to deny the permit. <br />If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 303-866-4943. <br />Sjncerely, ~ <br />t~ <br />v Erica Crosby <br />Environmen 1 Protectio ecialist <br />Enclosure- Citizen Guide to the 112 Process <br />cc: 'Carl Mount; DMG <br />Bill Addison; Colorado Marble, Inc. w/enclosure <br />Bob Holloway; Monarch Mountain Marble Company w/enclosure <br />Kenneth S.
