The Division of Minerals and Geology has approved the Amendment No. 1 application for the
Munroe Quarry, Permit No. M-77-002 HR on December 29, 1993. The application was found to
be adequate and in accordance with the Mineral Rules and Regulations of the Colorado Mined Land
Reclamation Board.
The Division had received your timely objection letter of December 6, 1993 and reviewed it
carefully before the decision was made to approve the permit. In your objection letter you had the
following concerns:
a. No easement agreement to access the property for the 2 (two) adjoining and existing
acres 5 acres;
b. The location of the proposed mine is closer to your living quarters and will create
dust, noise and other health hazard for animals and people.
The Division was provided on December 27, 1993 a copy of an easement agreement signed by
Mrs. Gladys Munroe and Colorado Lien Company which allowed them an easement and access to
the property.
As to the dust and noise that would be caused by the operation, the Division of Minerals and
Geology has no authority over these unless the dust is wind blown from an existing tailings within
the permit area. The operator has submitted a dust control plan within the permit area which was
reviewed and found to be adequate. You can contact the Colorado Department of Health, Air
Emissions Control Division, which has the authority to enforce air emissions control.
However, you have the right to object the Division's decision to approve the amendment to the
Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board in accordance with Rule 110(2)(b)(5)(d) of the
Minerals Rules and Regulations.
