We also understand that aamendment to change the end-use tresidential can be applied for in advance of Weld County approval of a PUD, however, the Division may hold the operator to the terms of revegetation of the property until such a time as the PUD is either approved and/or effected on the ground, or for any other reason, the Division and/or its Board release the operator from the permit. 5. The mine plan states that the mining excavation will have a setback of 100 feet from the boundary of the St. Vrain River. The revised map depicts the edge of excavation closer than 100 feet to the River. Technical Revision 002 (TR-002) approved by the Division on October 21, 1998, specifically addresses armoring the banks of the river, changing the seed mixture and planting desirable trees. The shoreline mitigation plan required by the Army Corps of Engineers was incorporated into the Bailey Pit reclamation plan for the previously mined area of Lake #1. Please clarify if the remaining mining area will maintain the 100 foot set back distance. If the operator intends to mine closer than 100 feet to the River on the remaining area, then a streambank mitigation plan will need to be incorporated into the permit. 5. The map as depicted under your review was in error. A revised map and copy is included with this submittal (refer to Item #1, above) showing the proper relation to existing and planned set backs. All shorelines shown less than 100 feet between Lakes and St. Vrain Creek are existing. The area of extraction remaining for Lake #1 now has a planned 100 foot setback, and extraction has yet to occur at this location. While the entire shoreline within the permit boundary is affected to some extent, and under reclamation in part under the authority of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, it is our understanding that the entire responsibility for reclaiming the shoreline up to 100 feet in width along either side of St. Vrain Creek, remains with Techtonics. 6. Doug Tiefel of Goose Haven Sand & Gravel, Inc. waived their right to a 30-day processing time for the Transfer of Permit and Succession of Operators (SO-003) received by the Division on March 23, 2000. The Division will approve SO-003 once the operator has addressed the above noted items and the reclamation bond has been calculated. 6. Acknowledged.
