Dear Mr. Sheridan
DIVISION OF

RECLAMATION

Bill Owens
Governor
Greg E. Welcher
Executive Director
Ronald W. Cattany
Acting Division Director
The Division received your response to the Division's third adequacy letter. Following aze a few
concerns which still have not been resolved/addressed:
3. As you recall, item 3 of the third adequacy letter requested that you correct page 2 of the
application form and re-submit it. Make sure the location of the site is correct before re-
submitting (the site is located in Section 27, T9S, R64W).
7. A new Exhibit E was not included in your latest response as requested in the third adequacy
letter. In addition, you did not submit the NRCS seed mixture, nor did you commit to the existing
approved seed mix. Nor did you commit to adding Prairie Junegrass to the mix. If you will just
commit to following the existing approved reclamation plan, and the existing approved seed mix
(but add Prairie Junegrass), it will make it easier. You would not have to submit a new Exhibit E,
just the recommended seed rate for the Prairie Junegrass.
12. Exhibit S -once again, you must comply with section "a", "b", or "c" of Rule 6.4.19 for the
identified power line. The two way agreement between Q-west phone service and Elbert county
complies with Rule 6.4.19 so a similaz agreement with Mountain View Electric would be okay.
I can not find the most recent proof of publication in the file. As you recall, Elbert county had to
re-publish because of an error in the original publication. As a result, Elbert county was required
to submit a copy of the second publication to the Division and to, notify all owners of record of
the affected land and to all owners of record of surface lands that are within 200 feet of the
boundary of the affected land (pursuant to Rule 1.6.2(1)(g)) and send the Division proof that the
owners were notified.
The 365 day review period expires on September 12, 2002. If the application stilt has
outstanding issues after the 12a', the Division will set the matter for a Mined Land Reclamation
Boazd meeting. At the hearing, the Board may deny or approve the application.
If you have any questions, please give me a call at 303-866-4060.
