BOX 103 DELTA, COLORADO 81416 Tom Schreiner Division of Minerals and Geology Department of Natural Resources 1313 Sherman St., Room 215 Denver, CO 80203 Dear Mr. Schreiner, a III IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII 999 ~ECEI~/Fn JAN 251994 January 21, 1994 I am sending you the following information to answer the questions raised in your inspection of our mine properties. 1. Enclosed are copies of Stormwater Discharge Permits for the four pits. Pits 1 and 4 have stormwater as part of NPDES permits. Pits 3 and Red Shale 1 are stormwater only. In Addition, the Stormwater Management Plan Certification for Pit 4 is enclosed. This certification is not due on the other pits until later this year. 2. The processing facilities adjacent to Pit 1 in Delta and Pit 3 in Paonia existed in their present location and function well before there was any mining on adjacent property, They are part of our concrete and sales yard operations. They are on land that has not and will not be mined, These processing areas will not be reclaimed when the adjacent mines are reclaimed because they are industrial sites that will retain their present function regardless of where the material comes from. The processing site in question at the Delta Plant is identified on page 7, paragraph 2 in the mining plan for Pit 1. The stockpile site in question at the ready-mix plant in Paonia is identified on page 6, paragraph 1 in the mining plan for Pit 3. Both these sites are identified in our permits and therefore were approved by the Board when the permits were approved. These sites have always handled material from various locations. I have enclosed a letter from Delta County stating that these sites are in compliance with County regulations. I also have enclosed a letter from Jack Starner to MLRD from March of 1985 in which he restates the separate nature of the process area. Since then both sites have DELTA 874-9759 MONTROSE 249-6963 PAONIA 527-4174 RANGELY 675-2315
