0 <br /> Hr. Charles Berry, Esq. -2- <br /> December 29, 1978 <br /> information and submit if with the application. <br /> (7) No information on soils or vegegtation were submitted with <br /> any of the applications. <br /> (8) No reclamation plan, and no mining plan were submitted for <br /> any of the gravel pits. This is the heart of any, appli- <br /> cation, although neither submission need b�, complex. State <br /> law requires a permit, in order to assure that reclamation <br /> of affected land will take place. The assurance cannot be <br /> given without some information about how the mining will be <br /> done, and about how reclamation will take place. <br /> (9) Proof of local government approval was not submitted. In <br /> most instances, the only local government entity is the <br /> county, and I would assume that it mould not be difficult <br /> for one r.] Paso county n-nnry to ohtn.in approval from an- <br /> other. <br /> (10) Reclema"on costa have not hePn estlTited. Although this is <br /> not required of. counties (1,Pcause the normal bonding, process <br /> does not spplv) , it might bn helrfnl. to you in nrdor to estimate <br /> the impact, if any, on vnvr annual bu,I^et. <br /> In swmnary, the applications submitted by gl Pncn nre not adequate, and <br /> permits simply could not be grnnt-d beast on the information that has been <br /> submitted. The Application proc-Asir- for n "lln" (limited irract -- less <br /> than 10 acres) permit is not overly cnmpl.ai�: or expensive. Most counties <br /> have complied with the ]aTo, or are m.i><in� ?.00d faith efforts to do so. <br /> He have sent sample applications to Mr. Bryant to • nrk fron. I'sch appli- <br /> cation should bn prepared individually not on one Zproxed form where all <br /> the blanks are filled in with the identical information. <br /> Based on our phone conversation of today, I understand that the county <br /> may not have the manpower to submit all the applications at once. However, <br /> it would probably be to your advantage to submit complete and adequate appli- <br /> cations on at least some of these gravel pits prior to the next board meeting. <br /> I have enclosed an approved county application which may assist you. If <br /> you require further advice or assistance, please call me, Mark Acifner, or <br /> Jim Schmieding. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Hamlet J.
