On 5/24/99, DMG received the 5150 application fee for Technical Revision N2 (TR-02) to the Dalton
Land & Cattle Pit, addressing the post mining land use for the processing area. Therefore, the
application 'for TR-02 has been found complete for the purposes of filing. Pursuant to Rule 1.9.1,
DMG decisir~n date is 6/23/99.
The requested modification to the post mining land use will update the DMG permit to appropriately
conform with the zoning conditions of the La Plata County Permit System, as approved by the Board
of County Commissioners through Resolution No. 1993-55.
Please be advised that TR-02 may be deemed inadequate and may be denied on 6/23/99 unless the
following adequacy review items are addressed to the satisfaction of DMG.
Adequacy Issues
DMG interprets a change in the post mining land use, from the existing pasture land to industrial land
use, as a significant revision to the reclamation plan. Significant revisions to the reclamation plan are
appropriatel~,r processed as an Amendment to the permit, as defined by Rules 1.1(6) and 1.10, and
Section 34-32.5-112(7)la) C.R.S., of the Act. However, given the unique conditions of this specific
site, DMG offers the following response to your desire to submit such modification through the
Technical REvision (TR) process.
DMG will prl3cess your request, to modify the post mining land use for the Dalton Land & Cattle Pit
processing yard from the existing pasture land to industrial land use, as a TR subject to the following
three conditions:
1. Sandco must waive its right, in writing, to a decision on the TR within the standard 30 day
revie~nr period;
2. Sandco must satisfy the public, agency and landowner notice process that attends submittal
of an Amendment, including the four weeks of publication with the standard public comment
periolf, as described in Rules 1.6.2 and 1.6.5.
