Division Director
The Division has conducted a preliminary adequacy review of the
Pathfinder Pit application. The following comments and concerns
are the result of that review. Please respond to these concerns in
a timely manner so that a decision can be rendered by the
application decision due date which is March"27, 1995.
PERMIT APPLICATION
Please ensure that all maps and drawings are signed by qualified
personnel as required by Rule 6.2.1(2)(b).
The first page of the application package states that the permitted
area equals 14.75 acres. The Plan View Map indicates an area of
12.95 acres. The mining plan calls for a maximum disturbance of
8.3 acres. Please clarify these discrepancies and revise the
appropriate application contents.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION
Because Highway 145 is within 200 feet of the proposed disturbed
area, please send notification to the Colorado Department of
Transportation pursuant to Rule 1.6.2(1)(d)(ii).
Please send a copy of the final disposition of the State Historic
Preservation Office regarding the old railroad bed as soon as it is
available. The Division cannot approve this application without
SHPO clearance.
PRB-MINING AND MINING PLAN MAPS
Please indicate, on the Appendix C maps, the location and extent of
the wetlands and small pond described in the surface water section
of Hxhibit G.
The application states that the hydropower conduit is not within
the area of active mining, but is within 200 feet of the limit of
mining. The Mining Plan and Reclamation Plan Maps show the conduit
within the area to be mined. Please clarify this situation and
revise either the maps or the text accordingly.
