The Division received the adequacy review responses for the Beech Hill Quarries Conversion

amendment to the conversion application due to the addition of acreage after the original
submittal of the conversion application (Quarry A- 4 acres and Quarry B- 4.494 acres). In order
to facilitate this process, the applicant extended the Division's decision date to May 11, 2001.
The Division of Minerals and Geology (Division) is required to make an approval or denial

Certified Mailing or by proof of personal service.
