Box 25 <br />Montrose, CO 81402 <br />RE: Spring Creek Gravel Pit, File No. M-94-097, Montrose County <br />Dear Mr. Million: <br />~~~ <br />DEPARTMENT OF <br />NATURAL <br />RESOURCES <br />Ray Romer <br />Governor <br />pm,~ 5. Lrchhr~d <br />F.ecutlve Dvrcrnr <br />Michael6 Lane <br />Division Direclet <br />I reviewed your response to my second adequacy letter. There are only a couple of items that <br />still need to be clarified or addressed. <br />1. As has.been stated, the new access road you propose to construct will enter your <br />easement from the west off of a county maintained road. The length of the new <br />road will be about t 900 feet with a width of about 20 feet. This amounts to <br />about .9 of an acre. Even though you will not be required to reclaim the road, it <br />must be in the permit area pursuant to Rule 6.3.3(1)(g). So, unless I <br />miscalculated, your permit area will contain 40.9 acres. From rite east end of the <br />newly constructed access road, to the northwest corner of the proposed mining <br />area, you intend to use the existing faun road to access the permit area. Since the <br />road will not be improved it will not have to be in the permit area- <br />2. I want to be very clear about the topsoil stockpile area. You state you will <br />stockpile topsoil on the rim of the depression area so it will not have an affect ort <br />the watercourse. As long as the topsoil stockpile is not in any danger of being <br />eroded, I don't have any problem where you locate it. <br />3. Please submit a revised exhibit F map showing the expected final topography of <br />the pit. <br />4. Based on your proposed mining and reclamation plans I have determined that <br />your financial warranty requirement will be $14,000.00 for the phased operation. <br />A permit will not be issued until an adequate financial warranty is submitted to, <br />and approved by, the Division. <br />If you have any questions give me a call. <br />S/i7ncerely, <br />~ / 1~\ ( ~, <br />~ James Dillie <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />M:105SaminlSCrc.Y_jtl <br />
