Listed below aze adequacy review comments for the Lyons Quarry 112 Permit Amendment Application, File
No. M-1977-141. The Division of Minerals and Geology ("Division") is required to make an approval or
denial decision no later than September 10, 2002, therefore, your response to the following adequacy review
concerns should be submitted to the Division as sooti as possible.
On the application form submitted to the Division on June 3, 2002, Aggregate Industries states that 20
acres will be added to the existing 54 acres for a total permit area of 69 acres. The correct number
should be 74 acres for the new permit area (54 acres + 20 acres). After speaking with Greg Knell of
SRK Consulting, there appears to be a discrepancy in the original permit area of 54 acres. Ultimately,
the intent is to have a total permit area of 69 acres. In order to preserve the historical record of 54 acres,
the Division recommends that the operator revise the increase in acreage to 15 acres.
Please correct the first page of the application form to reflect a change of 15 acres rather than 20 acres.
A copy of this page will also need to be filed with the Clerk and Recorder, and a receipt for the new page
demonstrating filing will need to be submitted to the Division.
2. The operator revised Exhibits D and F depicting the new permit boundary area. A portion of the permit
area is noted outside of the Lease Boundary (on the eastside of Section 26). The operator will need to
demonstrate legal right of entry on this parcel of land. In addition, the operator will need to notify the
owner of the property of the Amendment Application. Please provide the Division with proof of legal
tight of entry and notification as required by Rule 1.6.2
3. The operator proposes to add 20 acres (or correctly, 15 acres as stated in item #1). Please explain the
depth of topsoil to be removed from this area, and the depth of topsoil to be replaced in this area. In
addition, all topsoil pies need to be located on a map. Please address accordingly.
4. The Division reviewed the file and found the following commitments regarding [apsoil replacement in a
letter dated 12-9-83 from Rindahl & Associates;
