Cottony <br />Division Director. <br />Natural Resource~trustee <br />The Division has reviewed your revision request for a revised reclamation plan for Bestway <br />Paving's Pit No. 1. The adequacy concerns listed below will need to be resolved prior to the <br />Division's approval of your request. We request that you provide a response on or before the <br />April 13, 2005 decision date. Please let us know if you need additional time to prepare a <br />response. <br />1. The applicant states on page 2 that structures on the site currently support the industrial <br />activities and are likely to remain for the final land use. During previous site inspections, the <br />operator had expressed a commitment to remove all such buildings and foundations in the <br />remaining permit area (northwest portion) during final reclamation. The Division is not opposed <br />to leaving such structures providing the operator can adequately demonstrate in writing that these <br />structures and buildings aze zoned for industriaUcommercial use. Please clarify whether the <br />buildings and building foundations, and fuel storage areas will be removed or will remain during <br />final reclamation. <br />2. The applicant states on page 2 that areas of the pit floor expected to receive truck or other <br />vehicle traffic, storage, or maintenance will be covered with a 2-inch layer of gravel. It appears <br />that areas to receive truck or vehicle traffic will require a gravel layer of at least 4 inches or <br />greater. Please respond. <br />3. The applicant states on page 3 that other pit slope areas, however, maybe stabilized with <br />material similar to the gravel used for the pit floor stabilization. Please identify on the revised <br />reclamation plan map the location and extent of these slope areas. <br />Office of <br />Mined I and Reclamation <br />Office of <br />Active and Inactive Mines <br />Colorado <br />Geoloeical Survev <br />
