RE: Lagoon Pit (File No. M-92-060) Review of 2nd Adequacy Response Received by the
Division October 16, 1992
Dear Mr. Drinkhouse:
The mast recent adequacy response, which consists of a reorganized permit application
form with exhibits, is a tremendous improvement over the application provided earlier.
The Division appreciates the effort the City has made in this regard. Even with this
improvement, however, there remain three unresolved adequacy issues that must be
addressed before the application can be approved. These are outlined below.
Exhibit A
It is clear to the Division from the application what property the City intends to be included
in the permit area, but the City's ownership of this tract of land or its right to mine this
tract by reason of a lease has still not been provided. The proof of ownership provided in
this adequacy response applies to the 6 acre tract immediately west of the orooosed
g_ermit area not to the property within the permit area.
The City must provide evidence of right of entry to the land that is intended for mining
and for inclusion in the permit area.
Exhibit B -Part 3
Contrary to what the application says, there appears to be an element of water resources
in the area. The Soil Conservation Service maps indicate a linear pond, stream, or ditch
cutting through the permit area. Some water body was also evident to the inspector
during the Division's initial inspection of the site.
COLORADO
If there is such a body of water in the area, it should be mentioned under Exhibit B. If it is
not to be disturbed by the mining or if it will not receive drainage form the area affected
by the minirig, that too should be indicated under Exhibit B.
