NOTE: Various materials have apparently been supplied by different individuals at different times in an
attempt to meet the requirements far an adequate permit application for Pit I. There is no consistent form to
these materials and much of the application lacks an acceptable organization of the information in order to
be clear. Nevertheless, the Division has attempted to sort thru the materials supplied in conducting its
adequacy review of the permit application for Pit 1, has identified the following adequacy concerns and has
suggested corresponding remedial actions as indicated below:
Rules 1.6.2 (I) (d) and 1.6.3 (3): There is no evidence so far provided with the permit application that the
public notice of the application required by these rules has been published.
%`" Prior to the Division's consideration of any approval of this application, evidence must be provided that a
public notice meeting the requvements of these rules has been properly published.
Rules 1.6.2 (1) (e) (ii): There is no evidence so far provided with the permit application that the notices of
the application required by this rule have been mailed to all owners of record of surface lands within 200 feet of the
0~' land [o be affected by the mining operation. Those, with two exceptions, are apparently listed on the map accepted
I (but not marked) as Exhibit A of this application.
Prior to the Division's consideration of any approval of this application, evidence of not only mailing
acceptable notices of the application to these owners but also evidence of their receipt of such notices, in the form
~of the "green cards", must be provided to the Division.
Rule 1.6.2 (I) (f): The unmarked map accepted as the Exhibit A Map, which contains a listing of the
owners of the lots within 200 feet of the azea to be affected by the mining operation, does not include the identity of
the owner of Lot 40, part of which appears to be within 200 feet of the proposed permit area boundary. In addition,
9(~ the owner of Lot 36 should be supplied since Lot 36, although included in the permit area, appears not to be
~,IpX covered by the deed provided to demonstrate ownership by the applicant of all land included in the permit area.
The applicant should identify the owners of Lots 36 and 40 and, prior to the Division's consideration of
any approval of this application, evidence of not only mailing acceptable notices of the application to these owners
but also evidence of their receipt of such notices must be provided to the Division.
