Highway 112 <br />Del Norte, CO 81132 <br />Re: Crites Sand and G avel Pit, Permit M-1999-022, Acreage Reduction (AR-O1) Approved. <br />Dear Mr. Crites, <br />Bill Owens <br />Governor <br />Greg E. Walther <br />Executive Director <br />Ronald W. Cattany <br />Acting Division Director <br />I have approved the acreage reduction request noted above, which releases 2 acres from your existing permitted <br />area. The specific area released in this action is best defined as the area shown on the permit maps as "Phase 3" of <br />the Gravel Pit excavation area, located northwest of the stockpile and processing area. The area released measures <br />217 feet by 400 feet. The area remaining in your permit now consists of the other two phases (1 and 2) of the <br />excavation area, measuring 434 feet by 400 feet (combined), and the recharge pit with adjoining stockpile and <br />processing area. <br />This acreage reduction was described by you as the first part of an intended "land exchange" in which you wished <br />to reconfigure the permit boundary, with no resulting change to the net permit acreage. An addition of up to two <br />acres may be approved now, and the permit will remain as a 110 permit. The request for the addition of land must <br />be submitted by you, in the form of a technical revision (TR). The TR must include revised materials showing all <br />changes to the existing permit, plus the TR fee which is $188. <br />Examples of materials which will be revised by this upcoming TR are: <br />Exhibit A -Legal Description (metes and bounds description of entire permit boundary, excluding <br />recently-released 2-acre area, and including new 2-acre azea); <br />Exhibit C -Mining Plan (describing activities to occur on the new 2-acre azea); <br />Exhibit D -Reclamation Plan (applicable only if there are any changes); <br />Exhibit E -Maps (showing new boundaries and areas of activities). <br />I have enclosed for your use a copy of portions of your original permit maps, showing the permitted acreage. I <br />highlighted the azea released in the now-approved acreage reduction AR-O1, as well as the remaining areas. The <br />sheet showing the recharge pit and stockpile/processing area should be used by you to depict the area proposed to <br />be added in the technical revision, which may be up to 2 acres. <br />Please prepare the revised materials in duplicate, attach the fee, and send the packet either to Ms. Suzi Ericksen at <br />the Division's Denver office (see letterhead) or to me at the Division's Durango office (address below). Ms. <br />Ericksen will initially review your submittal to ensure that it is complete. If certain documentation is lacking you <br />
