Mount of the Division of Minerals and Geology Dear Mr. Bramble: I would like to address the issues raised in your letter but before I do, please be advised that when this project was in its initial stages, I discussed all of the options that CAMAS was investigating with Mr. Joe Gerdom, your past Planning Director. One of the options at that time was to convey the mined materials east across the South Platte River to property CAMAS owns and this was meant to alleviate truck traffic on Riverdale Road. Mr. Gerdom rejected that plan. Attached for your information are copies of my con-espondence with Mr. Gerdom and his response. After receiving his reply, CAMAS decided to go ahead with the acquisition of the Hammer property and the adjacent parcels and to process the amendments which are currently in process. I was advised by Jim Hayes of Adams County Planning that Jce Gerdom had left the City of Brighton and was given the interim Planning Directors name. We hadn't heard of any concerns from Brighton through the referral process so I called on August 23b to make sure there were no problems lurking in the background. I was assured that there were no problems, but was told that you were writing a letter with "some concerns" to the DMG in response to their standard referral process. With that background, I just received your letter via fax yesterday from the DMG. I wanted you to know the efforts we have made since this project started and want you to know that we have not been ignoring the City of Brighton's concerns. With that background, let me address the issues you raised in your letter. • Concerning the City Limits of Brighton, in our application we were responsible to list any city or municipality 'wvithin" two miles of the project and this is what we did. • We are aware of the subdivisions east of Section 14.
