Introduction
On 1 /23/98, DMG issued notice to all parties and interested persons to the Stone Gravel
Pit application, of receipt of a Technical Revision to the application. The Technical
Revision was limited to item 5 of the applicant's 12/22/97 response to adequacy issues,
addressing drainage channel reconstruction and the details of the proposed drainage
channel indicated on the revised Exhibit F, Reclamation Map. Public comment period was
reopened fora 20 day period, commencing on 1 /23/98 and closing on 2/12/98, to ensure
opportunity for public participation in the review of the Technical Revision. DMG decision
date for reconsideration of its previous approval recommendation was set at 2/17/98.
Comments Received
On 2/12/98, DMG received a letter from Travis E. Stills, dated 2/12/98, objecting to the
application, objecting to DMG defining the applicant's 12/22/98 submittal as a Technical
Revision instead of an Amendment, objecting to issues within the scope of the Technical
Revision, objecting to issues not included within the scope of the Technical Revision, and
stating that the MLRB could not legally approve the application. Mr. Stills is legal council
for the Emerson, Bell and Morris objecting parties.
DMG Reconsideration of Approval Recommendation
DMG considered the issues raised by Mr. Stills in his 2/12/98 submittal which related
directly to the Technical Revision. On 2/17/98, DMG determined that its original approval
recommendation was issued appropriately.
The balance of this document is intended to explain the process by which DMG determined
to uphold its approval recommendation over the objections raised by Mr. Stills in his
2/12/98 submittal.
