Loye, Reclamation Specialist ~~~~~ ~9 Mined Land Reclamation Division State of Colorado Dept. of Natural Resources 723 Centennial-Building DEC 2 0 1979 1313 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203 MINED LAND RECLAMATION Dear Mr. Loye: Co10. Dept. 01 <tdlp.'31 R^SOerCOS Pursuant to our phone conversation yesterday, may I recap the following information: I have requested that Mr. Saldano of the Colorado Dept. of Health, dater Quality Control Division, stop by next week to meet with him concerning storm runoff control at our existing crusher site. I will do my best to see that any problems of this nature are alleviated as soon as. possible. It is true that the existing crusher site is not included in the affected land as outlined in our mining permit. This is due to your staff's directives at the time the permit application was formulated. Your colleage, Mr. Rade Orrel, instructed me in late 1977 to remove the crusher site from the affected land due to a Mined Land Reclamation Board Ruling that exempted crushing or loading operations which were separated from the actual mining zone. I must admit that I failed at the time to get this ruling in writing from Mr. Orrel. However, the existing crushing and loading facility will be involved in some critical changes in the near future due to quarry expansion plans. Attached is a schm tic showing a proposed crushing and screening facility which will hopefully be installed within the next year. The particular engineering found in the system will enable us to better utilize our resource with less waste and more effective quality control. All of the systems shown in schematic are necessary in order to insure the stated results, particularly the radical stacker, which will homoginize the extreme variability of our ore reserve. Present plans call for the proposed facility to be in the quarry within the affected land boundaries. I understand that an amendment to our mining permit is necessary and I will address rgyself to this in early 1980 at the time of our yearly report to your office. However, the exact area of affected land at the present site will be decreased considerably from the existing area if the crushing facility is located in the quarry proper,within the current affected land boundaries. The air quality permit from the EPA and the State is currently under review by these agencies. As soon as these permits are acquired, a definitive amendment can be sent before the Mined Land Reclamation Board. All efforts will be made in regards to engineering facilities to minimize dis- turbances of the area due to dust and equipment operation. This is addressed in detail in our permit application. I would appreciate your comments on this matter and respectfully request your cooperation with the agencies involved in permit review. Very truly ours, ~~~~ x. s. xl~o Quarry Supt.
