Dear Mr. Cash II: Division Director
Thank you for your letter of August 6, 2001 concerning the Division's approval of the Rough Cut gravel pit
application, Permit Number M-2001-033.
The Division approved the operator's application on July 17, 2001. The Division must receive any appeal to
the Mined Land Reclamation Board of the Division's approval decision for this application by August 16,
2001, Ute date of this letter.
If you desire that an appeal hearing be scheduled before the Mined Land Reclamation Board, we will
consider the date of the Division's receipt of your August 6, 2001 letter to Mr. Mike Long (August 8, 2001)
as the date of your appeal. Therefore, please confirm, by August 31, 200], whether you are requesting an
appeal to the Mined Land Reclamation Board. If this is the case, we will schedule this matter for a future
Board hearing date.
in reference to specific statements in your August 6, 2001 letter, according to the documents given to us by
the operator, operations at the Rough Cut Pit site will remain at least 200 feet from your property line. If this
is indeed the case, they are not required to notify you directly. The operator did, as required by the
Construction Materials Act, place a legal notice in a local newspaper (La Junta Tribune Democrat) between
the dates of April 13, 2001 and May 4, 2001. Based on the permit file and our Act, the operator satisfied the
notice requirements to adjacent property owners. Of course, if you do not agree, you should let us know of
your desire to appeal to the Mined Land Reclamation Board by August 31, 2001.
The fact that there are several outer operating gravel mines in the area of the Rough Cut Pit is not a reason
for denial under the provisions of the Construction Materials Act. I have included a complementary copy of
Ute Constmction Materials Act and Rules for your review.
We look forward to hearing from you regarding your desire for an appeal to the Mined Land Reclamation
Board or with any further questions that you may have about this application or the approval process.
Respectfully, ,~-~
