I reviewed your response to my adequacy concerns. You adequately answered most of my
concerns. In addition, your response raised a couple of questions that need to be addressed.
I will list my new concerns using the same format as the initial adequacy letter.
1. Exhibit C
a. The new Exhibit C map you submitted identifies all the man-made structures
within 200 feet of the proposed permit area. Your narrative mentions all but
the power pole in the northeast corner of the permit area. You are aware that
the power pole belongs to Delta-Montrose Electric Association because you
sent them a letter requesting an agreement to repair or replace the pole if
damaged by your operation as required by C.R.S. 34-32-115(4)(d). Since the
power pole is the only man-made structure within 200 feet of the permit area
that you do not own you need to provide a narrative that you will either obtain
an agreement from DMF.A to repair or replace the power pole if damaged by
your operation or remain 200 feet or more from the structure.
b. Now that you have shown where the new access road is located the question I
have is will the road remain or will it be reclaimed after mining ceases? This
is in reference to the road west of the proposed 40 acre permit area. If the
road will be reclaimed it must be part of the permit area. You will have to
determine the area of the road and add it to the 40 acres in your permit
application. If the road will remain, to provide access to the rest of your land,
I will need a statement to that effect.
2. Exhibit D
a & c. Stockpiling topsoil in a topographical depression may not be a very good idea,
