RE: Use of a conveyor to transport material from the Heiner Gravel
Pit to adjacent land, Permit No. M-77-151.
Dear Mr. Carroll:
Thank you for contacting the Division of Minerals and Geology and
explaining what Weld County wants to do to transport material from the
Heiner Gravel Pit to adjacent land owned by Weld County. The fax
explaining this upcoming operation was received on April 17, 1995.
The Division does not see the operation of using a temporary conveyor
to transport material from the mine permit area to the county property
as needing any modification to the present permit document. However,
the operator and Weld County should make sure that all excavation and
removal of material take place only on the presently permitted area
and that the stockpile formed by the conveyor is used only on the
upcoming fill on county land. That is, the material conveyed must be
used only on the county land and not transported to other projects.
If it was transported to other projects, then the stockpile could be
construed to be a part of the mining operation as defined in the
Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Act.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Carl B. Mount
Senior Environmental Protection Specialist
