<br />ENVIRONMENT, INC. <br />MARCH 26, ZOOI <br /> <br />PAGE 1 O <br />enforce 404 regulations. The argument is supported by CRS 34- <br />32.5-104 that forbids the Division from enforcing another <br />agencies regulations. 'The COE has previously stated that the <br />permitting party (Platte Sand & Gravel LLC) would be held <br />liable for fulfilling the 404 permit obligations and not the <br />Mined Land Reclamation Board if they were not complete should <br />PSG default on the reclamation permit, PS&G will not <br />incorporate any 404 permit into the reclamation permit. <br />35. Exhibit S - Owners of Record of Affected Land - Surface Area <br />contains all the names of easement owners and other surface <br />leases of record. The scale of the map makes it hard to see <br />the easements. I disagree that PS&G needs a source of legal <br />right to enter their easement since the easement holders do <br />not own the surface, only the right to use it. The surface <br />owners still have the right to use the areas within the <br />easement and both of the owners are principals of Platte Sand <br />& Gravel LLC. Their ability to access their structures on the <br />easements must be protected and PS&G has done that. PS&G's <br />attorney is working on agreements with the oil and gas <br />companies and Public Service Company (XCel Energy) that will <br />address your concerns and PS&G's ability to mine close to <br />their facilities. <br />36. The operator does not plan to mine thru any easements. HS <br />Resources has been contacted regarding their concerns and they <br />have sent us information on their future drilling plans. <br />Patina Oil & Gas was contacted by PS&G's attorney and discus- <br />sions are taking place to address their concerns. <br />Rule 6.4.19 Exhibit S -Permanent Man-Made Structures <br />37. Attached is a letter from the Platteville Historical Society <br />showing that their concerns were addressed. They will <br />eventually be the custodial agency for the listed sites. Mr. <br />Sharkey is working closely with them to improve the grounds <br />around the monument and he has a good working relationship <br />with the society. Attached is an excerpt from our Reclamation <br />Plan Map showing the distance from the monument (site SWL814) <br />to the mining areas surrounding it. Note: PS8~G will not mine closer <br />than 222 feet from their monument envelope. site 5WL87o is not listed <br />as a registered historical site. It is part of the old <br />railroad bed that traverses the mine site from north to south. <br />According to the Colorado Historical Society's (CHS) records <br />it is a siding, bridge and possible depot site located near <br />the river. Accordingly, they have no jurisdiction to forbid <br />disturbing that area. However, Mr. Sharkey will work with <br />them to preserve as much of the area as possible. For the <br />record, i have enclosed an excerpt from our mining plan map <br />showing the approximate location of site SWL870, (Adequacy <br />Exhibit 6). Note that it lies mostly in area that will not be <br />disturbed by mining. <br />
