Cattany <br />f Acting Division Director <br />RE: Spring Creek Pit, Permit No. M-1994-097, Inquiry about location of AM-02 Access Road /- <br />Dear Ms. Wissel: <br />Enclosed please find a map showing the location of the "new" access road proposed for the Spring <br />Creek Pit. This is the paved road currently being used for access to/from the pit. The operator of <br />the site, Oldcastle SW Group, Inc. dba United Companies of Mesa County created the road in this <br />location to address concerns of Montrose County and of residents in the vicinity of the pit. <br />However, they failed to revise their reclamation permit to incorporate the construction and use of <br />the new road into that permit. This Amendment No. 2 (AM-02) process is being conducted to do <br />just that. <br />When acreage is added to an existing permit, the amendment process is required to allow for <br />review by this Division and for comment from the public. Your request was received within the <br />allowable public comment period, but is not considered a to be an objection to the application. The <br />public comment period is now closed. However, because your request was timely received, and <br />we did not respond in a timely manner, we will accept your comments if they are received by this <br />office by 5:00 p.m, on March 5, 2003. <br />If you need additional information, please contact me at the Division of Minerals and Geology, <br />Grand Junction Field Office, 101 South Third Street, Room 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, <br />telephone no. 970-243-6368. <br />Sinc~./~.J <br />Steve S.
