Long <br />Division Director <br />RE: Shavano Gravel Pit, Permit No. M-1983-208, Amendment No. 1 Preliminary Adequacy Review <br />Dear Mr. Conger: <br />DMG has completed the preliminary adequacy review of your application for an Amendment to Permit <br />No. M-1983-208 for the Shavano Gravel Pit. The application cannot be approved until the following <br />issues are adequately addressed. Please submit a response to the following issues as soon as <br />possible, but no later than May 3, 2002 so the decision due date set for May 13, 2002 can be met. If <br />you cannot respond by May 3, 2002, please submit a written request for extension of the decision date. <br />If your response, or an extension request, are not received by May 3, 2002 this application may be <br />denied. <br />ADEQUACYISSUES <br />Exhibit C -Mining Plan Map <br />1. Please show the name of the owner(s) of all structures on or within 200 feet of the proposed <br />affected area. Based on this map and discussions during the pre-operational inspection, DMG <br />assumes the new affected area boundary to be the proposed permit boundary. If this is incorrect <br />please clarify and illustrate the proposed affected area boundary. <br />2. It appears that additional excavation is proposed for the area north of the mined out area, up to <br />within 25 feet of the north boundary. Please clarify which areas are to be mined and adjust the <br />acreage figures on the map accordingly. <br />3. If the mining plan is to result in a near flat pit floor, it would follow that the areas to be daylighted <br />would have an excavation limit that follows the contour of the daylighted slope. Please correct this <br />apparent discrepancy. <br />Exhibit D -Mining Plan <br />4. In order for the proposed alternate access road to be addressed in the future as a technical <br />revision, DMG must assume that the corridor allowed for the access road is included in the <br />proposed affected area. Therefore, all structures within 200 feet of the permit boundary around the <br />proposed alternate access road must be included in No. 1 above. <br />
