M-1985-031 (Mancos Pit); M-1985-172 Gardner Pit); <br />M-1978-107 (Tozer Pit); M-1987-109 (Willbanks Pit); M-1999-068 (Baumgartner Pit). <br />Dear Mr. Everett, <br />1 am writing again to your attention in regard to an ongoing, unresolved issue, <br />specifically the need for revising the permits for the gravel pits operated by Montezuma <br />County (as named above), to include noxious weed control plans. I wrote twice to you <br />about this matter, but have not received a response of any kind. (Please refer to my <br />letters dated December 29, 2000, and May 14, 2001, enclosed herewith for your <br />reference.) <br />The explanation of the outstanding need for such permit revisions is not explored again in <br />this letter, but please be aware that the issue has not been resolved. This letter serves as <br />notice that the issue of revising the permits is now formally considered a problem. The <br />Division may make the determination that certain issues may constitute problems, and in <br />so doing, may determine what the corrective action(s) should be, and when the correction <br />date will be. <br />In this case, please be aware that the unresolved issue of the lack of revising the permits <br />to include noxious weed control plans, now being a problem, now carries a formal <br />corcective action and correction date. The problem will be corrected by the submittal of a <br />written weed contro] plan which, once approved, will be made part of the permits through <br />a technical revision. Please be reminded that the submittal must be accompanied by a <br />technical revision fee of $188. Ifthe plans are the same for all five permits, alt five <br />Permits may be revised for the cost of one fee. This was all stated of the former letters, <br />except that now it carries a correction date to by which the submittal must be made. <br />If this office does not receive the above-named submittal of a plan and the fee. bathe <br />correction date of August 20, 2002, this problem will be considered to be a possible <br />
