The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety received your Technical Revision Application (TR-03)
to the NCCI Pit #1, Permit No. M-2001-107. /
Upon further review of the application submitted by J&T Consulting, Inc. the Division believes the
revised reclamation plan should be an Amendment to the NCCI Pit #1 rather than a Technical Revision.
The definition of Amendment as described in the Construction Material Rules and Regulations "means a
change in the permit or an application which increases the acreage of the affected land, or which has a
significant effect upon the approved or proposed Reclamation Plan." The reclamation plan will be
significantly revised under this proposed plan with the creation of one large lined lake 65.77 acres in
size rather than seven smaller lined lakes ranging from 7.07 acres in size to 12.27 acres in size. In
addition, the operator was to mine no more than 10 acres that would cover one section or portions of two
sections and with a total disturbance at any time of 25 acres. The larger compacted lined reservoir is
significant regazding possible impacts to the hydrologic balance, impacts to surrounding property
owners and the approved postmining land use.
Please resubmit this revision as a Permit Amendment Application. Applications for Amendments aze
reviewed by the Division in the same manner as applications for new permits and require a fee of
$1,938.00. Please instruct the Division if you would like the $188.00 Technical Revision application fee
returned, or applied to the cost of the Permit Amendment. In doing so, Northern Colorado Constructors,
Inc. Aggregate Div. will need to formally withdraw the request for the Technical Revision. The
withdraw notice must be received by the Division prior to the Division's decision due date of November
9, 2006. If the notice is not received by this date, the Division will have to deny the application.
The Division has a few other comments and suggestions regazding the application that will need to be
addressed in the future submittal;
1. The operator should be awaze that any reduction in acreage must be filed as an acreage release
request in accordance with Rule 4.17 of the Construction Materials Rules and Regulations.
Please send the request as a separate correspondence from any future revisions.
