RE: L. G. Everist, Inc., Fort Lupton Sand and Gravel Mine, DMG #M-1999-120; Second Adequacy Response Letter Please note that the existing Fort Lupton pit operated through the summer of 2004, which was an average precipitation year following a series of drought years, without any significant effects to the hydrologic balance or complaints received. Likewise, we are not aware of any known problems to the hydrologic balance caused by other permitted pits with slurry walls along the river northeast of Denver. Exhibit H -Wildlife Information 16. Wildlife - 200-foot setback from river Thank you, we will maintain a 200-foot setback from the river. Exhibit L -Reclamation Costs 17. Reclamation Costs in phases Thank you, we will bond in phases, submitting a TR prior to each phase. We hope that with LGE's additional commitments in this adequacy response, that LGE has addressed all of the Division's concerns, and that the Division can recommend approval. If we have not addressed all of the Division's concerns, please call me right away at 303-286-2247 (office) or 303-514-2778 (cell), and we can work together to come to a solution. To allow the Division adequate time to review this response, as we discussed at the January 19`" meeting, we request an extension until January 26, 2005, so that we can hopefully still have our pre-hearing conference on January 28, 2005. If additional time is required, please let me know at one of the phone numbers listed above. Thank you.
