Cattany <br />Division Director <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />The Division requests your response to a citizen complaint received from landowners adjacent to the <br />Kattenberg Pit. Attached is a copy of correspondence received on December 16, 2004 from Ms. Liz <br />McIntyre and Ms. Paula Sheridan, adjacent landowners to the south of the Kattenberg Pit. Ms. McIntyre <br />and Ms. Sheridan have indicated that there are inaccuracies in the approved permit applicafion, and that <br />they had not been properly noticed during the permit review process for your Regular 112 Application. <br />Maps provided by Ms. McIntyre and Ms. Sheridan indicate that they are the correct landowners to the <br />south, rather than the Bureau of Land Management; that there is a irrigation headgate diversion stmcture <br />neaz the southwest comer of the permit area; and that there is a 3-strand wire fence coincident with the <br />southern permit boundary. It is our understanding that the maps provided in your approved mining and <br />reclamation plan were based on the best information available at the time and aze consistent with land <br />ownership information that was available at the Grand County Clerk and Recorders Office. In response <br />to this complaint, the Division requests that you review the correspondence and provide a response on or <br />before December 31, 2004 that addresses the concerns noted. Also, we will be contacting you promptly <br />to schedule a site inspection to locate the features of concern. <br />Please call me at (303) 866-3567 if you have any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />G~~~i~-~~• ~~j <br />Thomas A.
