RE: Holcim, Slab Canyon Quarry; Pemut No. M-1977-347
TR-Ol; Adequacy Letter
Deaz Mr. Benton,
The Division received your Technical Revision (TR-Ol) for the Slab Cannon Mine, Permit No. M-1977-347.
The revision was submitted as a result of the Division's inspection of January 7, 2003. The revision involves
retention of the broadcast tower and transmitter building along with the necessary electrical transmission lines
and support facilities and removal of one of the stoclcwater basins.
Rule 3.1.11 of the Construction Materials Rules and Regulations state that any buildings or structures may, at
the option of the Operator and the Landowner, remain on the affected land if such buildings or structures will
not conflict with the post-mining land use and the structures conform to local building and zoning codes. The
Division does not believe that the post-mining land use for the Slab Canyon Quarry will need to change in
order to retain the structures on the property because the structures will not interfere with the end land use of
rangeland. However, in order for the Division to not hold Holcim responsible for the disturbance and
reclamation of the structures, the operator will need to submit the following;
1. The operator must provide a signed, notarized letter from the landowner stating that the landowner
accepts the proposed changes to the post mining land use and reclamation plan with the retention of
the broadcast tower and associated structures.
2. The operator will need to submit documentation to the Division that retention of the stmctures will not
conflict with the post-mining land use of rangeland and that the structures conform to local building
and zoning codes. Such documentation must be a letter from Larimer County stating that the buildings
left in place will meet the zoning requirements and the approved post-mining land use.
Please be advised that Division's decision due date is set for June 16, 2003. If you feel more time is needed to
complete your reply, the Division can grant an extension to the decision date. This will be done upon receipt
of a written waiver of your right to a decision by June 16, 2003 and request for additional time. This must be
received no later than the deadline date. If you have any questions, please contact me at [phone].
