<br />DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES <br />David H. Getchea Executive Director <br />MINED LAND RECLAMATION DIVISION <br />DAVIDC. SHELTON, Director <br />Richard D. Lamm <br />Governor <br />May 9, 1984 <br />Mr. Brian Peters <br />Land Use Administrator <br />P,O. Box 176 <br />Saguache, Colorado 81169 <br />Re: San Isabel Gravel Pit - File No. M-84-044 <br />Dear Mr. Peters: <br />I have completed my adequacy review of your mining and reclamation permit <br />application for the San Isabel Gravel Pit. I have a few questions and comments <br />about the application that I have organized on an exhibit-by-exhibit basis below. <br />Any exhibits or parts thereof not mentioned are considered adequate for Board <br />approval now. Please respond to this letter at your earliest convenience such that <br />this matter will be ready for Board consideration and approval during the scheduled <br />May 23-24, 1984 meeting. If we can clarify these few question areas, this <br />application should be able to be presented as a "no problem", written presentation <br />to the Board, and you will not need to be present at the meeting. <br />Exhibit D <br />1, How is County Road 66T to be protected during and after the mining operation, <br />X given the fact that excavations will approach within about 25' of the road? <br />2, How is the ditch that crosses the northwest corner of the permit area to be <br />protected during and after mining? Irrigation ditches have been considered by the <br />,M J Board as permanent, man-made structures. If such structures lie within 200 feet of <br />V '°7 the affected land (in this case, within the permit area) the operator must either <br />6~1 show that the mining activities will not adversely affect the structure, or present <br />~t,,n~C a signed agreement with the owner of the structure committing to repair of, or <br />~yYc~ kscompensation for, damages to the structure by the mining operator. Please clarify <br />y^~ this entire situation, providing more details concerning the ditch (size, lining, <br />~1° ~ etc.), as necessary. <br />r <br />+" J„J~'~G Exhibit E <br />1 1, Are the seeding rates given for drilled or broadcast seeding? If broadcast <br />,v/ seeding is to be used, the seedbed will need to be dragged after broadcasting to <br />cover seeds. <br />2. Further details concerning revegetation are needed. These include <br />fertilization rates, mulching rates, seedbed`~ireparation (e.q. ripping before <br />topsoil placement or other topsoil preparation measures), weed control (if <br />necessary), and any other activities for ensuring revegetation success. I suggest <br />you consult with the S.C.S further in this matter. Submission of their completed <br />CO-ECS-5 form may suffice for these purposes. <br />423 Centennial Building, 1313 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203 Tet.
