RE: File No. M-79-142, BLM Pit Conversion
Adequacy Items
The following items must be addressed by the applicant
applicable requirements of C.R.S. 34-32-101 et seq. and
Regulations of the Mined Land Reclamation Board-
in order to satisfy the
the Mineral Rules and
1. It is apparent that the permit application submitted in September,
1986, is a conversion application to File M-79-142. As such, the
Permit Number M-86-133 was mistakenly assigned to the file. Please
amend your permit file to include only the permit number M-79-142, and
delete M-86-133.
This mistake was made because the conversion nature of this application
was not apparent until a thorough review was initiated. When the
operator intends to convert, amend, or otherwise revise an existing
permit in the future, please state the nature of the change and the
permit number at the beginning of the application, such as in a cover
letter. This courtesy will enable the clerical staff to properly
process the change, and it will preclude further confusion and
inconvenience for both Division and Division of Highways staff. Thank
you.
Exhibit C - Mining Plan Map
1. Please include the locations of all features described in the Mining
Plan - Exhibit D. Items not presently shown include the topsoil,
overburden, and crushed aggregate stockpile areas.
Exhibit D - Mining Plan
The operator states that the location of stockpiles will vary as the
mining operation progresses over the years." However, pursuant to Rule
6.4(c) and (d), "topsoil stockpiles shall be... located in areas where
disturbance by ongoing mining operations will be minimized" and that
"once stockpiled, the topsoil shall be rehandled as little as possible
until replacement on the regraded, disturbed area" The operator needs
to plan ahead and place topsoil in a permanent, out-of-the way location
for final reclamation. Please submit these plans and include the
locations on Exhibit C. The operator should consider the same plans
for overburden in order to avoid excess handling costs.
