Re: New Decision Date, M-2002-118, Velarde Pit 112 Application, Pre-Hearing
Conference/Formal Board Hearing,
Deaz Mr. Gagliano:
On Apri17, 2004, the Division received your letter requesting a Hearing before the Colorado
Mined Land Reclamation Boazd on D G Huskin Construction Company's 112 Reclamation
Permit application for the Velazde Pit. You requested that the Hearing be scheduled for the
Board's May meeting, which is May 26-27, 2004. The Division has changed the decision date
for your application to May 27, 2004. An objection to the application was filed by John
Kimbrel, Ben Franciscotti, Bill Ugolinis and Jim Hribar, through their attorney Dawn M. Mann.
Unless the objection is withdrawn, a final decision on the application will be made by the Board
during a Formal Public Hearing at their May 26-27, 2004 meeting, to be held in room 318, 1313
Sherman Street, Denver Colorado, starting at 10:00 a.m. both days, unless otherwise noticed.
The Division has completed the review of the application and it now meets the requirements of
the Law and Regulations. A recommendation for approval with the Division's rationale for
approval will be issued for the Boazd's consideration. The objectors have stated three reasons
for objecting to the application. Two of the reasons ate vaguely written and the Division will be
asking Ms. Mann to clarify them, prior to the Division making its recommendation. The other
reason for objection (use of a county road) is outside the jurisdiction of this Office and the
Boazd.
The Hearing, if one is necessary, will be conducted in accordance with sections 2.6 - 2.8 of the
Mineral Rules and Regulations of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Boazd for the
Extraction of Construction Materials. Prior to such a Hearing and in accordance with section
2.7.1, the Division will hold aPre-Hearing Conference to describe the Office's review process
and the rights and responsibilities of the parties; to discuss and resolve issues to the extent
