Listed below aze adequacy review comments on the Wagner/Kauffrnan Pit #3 Amendment Ol Application
(AM-Ol), Permit Number M-1999-069. The Division of Minerals and Geology ("Division") is required
to make an approval or denial decision no later than December 26, 2005, therefore, your response to the
following adequacy review concerns should be submitted to the Division as soon as possible.
1. As required by Rule 1.6.5 (2), please submit the proof of publication of the public notice circulated in
the local newspaper and all owners of record of surface lands, and easement holders that are within
200 feet of the boundary of the affected land. Proof of notice may be return receipts of a Certified
Mailing or by proof of personal service.
2. The application is listed as 186 acres of current disturbance and will be increased 55 acres for a total
of 241 acres. In the Acreage Reduction Application ("AR-01 "} approved by the Division on July 25,
2005, the site was released of 47 acres (from 232.5 acres to 185.5 acres). Please see the Division's
approval letter for the acreage reduction. The Division's records indicate that 185.5 acres is permitted
vs. the application page of 186 acres. Please clarify this discrepancy.
3. The operator for the Kauffman Pit, File M-1978-327 will need to submit an acreage reduction request
for the area that will be included in this AM-O1 application (55 acres). At the request of the operator,
the approval for the acreage reduction will be approved concurrently with the AM-01 application and
submittal of any new required bond (the operator will need to waive the timeframes associated with
the acreage reduction so they may occur concurrently). In order to avoid another inspection of the
site, the acreage reduction request must be submitted within 60-days of the Division's inspection of
November 8, 2005.
Rule 6.4.3 Exhibit C- Pre-Minin7r and Mining Plan MapL) of Affected Lands
4. Exhibit C-1 depicts the Wagner/Kauffman Pit #3 permit area in addition to the Kauffman Pit permit
area (DMG permit M-1978-327). The Kauffman Pit area depicted as "Area Backf fled for Recyclable
Concrete and Asphalt Storage and Processing" was approved under TR-04 in 2000 as for storage of
concrete and asphalt only and does not include backfilling of the material. If the operator intends to
backfill the azea with concrete and asphalt, the changes will need to be included as a revision to the
Kauffman Pit Permit, File M-1978-327.
