Cattany <br />Division Director <br />NaNral'Resource Tmstee <br />The Division of Minerals and Geology received your Technical Revision Application (TR-03) to the <br />Challenger Pit, Permit No. M-1985-026. <br />Upon further review of the application submitted by WSI Weiland, Inc., the Division believes the <br />revised reclamation plan should be an Amendment to the Challenger Pit rather than a Technical <br />Revision. The definition of Amendment as described in the Construction Material Rules and <br />Regula ns "means a change in the permit or an application which increases the acreage of the affected <br />land, or which has a significant effect upon the approved or proposed Reclamation Plan." The <br />reclamation plan will be significantly revised under this proposed plan with the creation of a lined lake. <br />Coulson Excavating proposes to line a 4-acre lake with clay and slope at 2h:ly to store augmentation <br />water. This change is significant regarding possible impacts to the hydrologic balance, impacts to <br />surrounding property owners and the approved postmining land use. <br />Please resubmit this revision as a Permit Amendment Application. Applications for Amendments aze <br />reviewed by the, Division in the same manner as applications for new permits and require a fee of <br />$1,938.00. Please instruct the Division if you would like the $188.00 Technical Revision application fee <br />returned, or applied to the cost of the Permit Amendment. In doing so, Coulson Excavating will need to <br />formally withdraw the request for the Technical Revision. The withdraw notice must be received by the <br />Division prior to Apri124, 2004. If the notice is not received,-then the Division will have to deny the <br />application. <br />If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 303-866-4943. <br />S• cerely, ~t /, <br />Enca Crosby <br />Environmental Protection3pcctalist <br />ca Carl Mount; DMG <br />Peter Wayland; WSI Weiland, Inc. <br />Office of Office of Colorado <br />Mined Land Reclamation Active and Inactive Mines Geological Survey <br />
