Dear Mr. Schmieding:

In regard to your request for additional information concerning our above
referenced gravel pit applications, I have been instructed by the County Com-
missioners to inform you that the County Commissioners understood that the
permits for these gravel pit operations were granted, or would have to be
granted, pursuant to the requirements of CRS 1973 34-32-110 (7). This section
of the statute states that "Applications for permits under this section shall
be processed and final action taken thereon within 30 days of the filing there-
of. If action upon the application is not completed within the 30-day period
specified in this subsection (7), the permit shall be considered to be appro-
ved and shall be promptly issued upon presentation by the applicant of surety
in the amount provided in subsection (3) of this section". Since the appli-
cations were apparent]y filed in October of 1977, and since we are submitting
herewith a written guarantee, in lieu of surety, stating that the affected
lands will be reclaimed in accordance with the terms of the permit and section
34-32-116, we believe the permits for these applications must now be issued.
In order to assist you in obtaining or locating the information you requested
in your letter of September 4, 1980, the following information is provided:
Legal Description of all 6 pits, Exhibit A
Please amend the applications by adding an "N" after Township and a "bl"
after Range. (Mark Haffner had previously indicated that handwritten addi-
tions as requested herein would be sufficient}
2. Mining Plan for all 6 pits, Exhibit B
a. No topsoil has been remove rom the affected areas, nor is any expected
to be removed from the affected areas, since the gravel which is being
removed is present on the top layer of ground.
