Dear Mr. Hernandez:

Reclamation Division
Douglas County is in receipt of your April 17, 1991, letter concerning a notice of public
hearing for Centennial Materials Inc./Winkler Light Aggregate Quarry, File #M89-065.
The letter notifies Douglas County that Centennial Materials Inc. is proposing to post a
$295,850 financial warranty for the Winkler Light Aggregate Quarry. The letter eludes to
the fact that the financial warranty was not posted by the permit holder within the one
year allowed period of time and thus requires a public hearing before the MLRB before
acceptance.
The purpose of this letter is to notify the MLRB that Douglas County does not have an
active special use application for the above mentioned quarry under the name of
Centennial Materials. We do have an inactive and unapproved special use application
called Winkler Light Aggregate Quarry, Project File #US89-007. Our concern is that a
special use permit will be required by the Board of County Commissioners of Douglas
County prior to any mining activity. Also, we are concerned that the reclamation plan that
was approved in 1989 may not be consistent with the recently adopted Douglas County
Master Plan for Mineral Extraction as far as any visual amenities and traffic impacts are
concerned.
It would seem appropriate that the State withhold any approval of permits for mining
activities until such time as a special use application has been submitted, processed, and
decided upon by the Douglas County Commissioners. We realize that reclamation permits
can be obtained from the State prior to County zoning processing, but nevertheless, it is
clear that local zoning must be complied with at some point. There are a great number
of residents in the greater Franktown area that are very concerned about this proposal
and surely will have input into the mining and reclamation plan, therefore, their input
could be valuable if solicited first before you decide on a reclamation plan that might be
inconsistent with their concerns and those of the County.
