Canany <br />Grand Junction, Colorado 81SO1 .Acting Division DIreCIOr <br />Re: D Road Grav le Pt't, Application # M-2002-046, Comments Concerning Review Comments to <br />Mesa County Conditional Use Permit Application (CUP-2002-101). <br />Dear Mr. Elam: <br />This Office has received a copy of "Response to Review Comments" dated September 20`s, 2002 <br />concerning the CUP application referenced above. A clazification needs to be addressed for statements <br />made in Item #1 under "Community Development' and "Division of Minerals and Geology". <br />First, The Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology (DMG) did not supercede the Colorado Mined <br />Land Reclamation Boazd (NLRB). The DMG serves as staff for the NLRB. Perhaps the statement was <br />meant to be the Mined Land Reclamation Division which was the name in the 1980's and early 90's. <br />Secondly, DMG may issue a reclamation permit prior to the issuance of other local, state and federal <br />permits. The Rules state only that the other permits must be annlied for, not necessarily received, by the <br />applicant for DMG approval. However, the Rules further stipulate that no disturbance can begin until all <br />permits have been acquired. <br />Although these may appear to be minor issues, it is important for documents open to public review to <br />contain the proper information to avoid any confusion. <br />If you need additional information, please contact me at the Division of Minerals and Geology, Grand <br />Junction Field Office, 101 S. 3rd St., Suite 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, telephone no. <br />970.241.1117. <br />Sincerely, <br />G. Russell Means <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />
