Our File No. 82-Z00
Dear Pfr. Brown:
2 have completed my adequacy review of the limited impact permit application
for the above-captioned operation. I have several questions and comments
that I have organized on an exhibit-by-exhibit basis below. Any exhibits or
parts thereof not mentioned are considered adequate at this time. I have
tried to be as comprehensive as possible in this review such that our necessary
correspondence may be kept to a minimum.
This matter has been scheduled for the October 27-28, 1982 meeting of the
Mined Land Reclamation Board, to be held at the Colorado Mountain College,
_- 1402 Blake Avenue, Room 5 on the Second Floor, in Glenwood Springs. If
we can resolve the various matters discussed in this letter, however, this
application can be presented as a "no problem" matter, and you will not need
to be present at the meeting. Otherwise, you can call our Division on the
bfonday or Tuesday before the Board meeting to get a more exact time that
this matter will be heard.
Before the Board can consider this matter, the Division must receive two
items. The first is the publisher's affidavit proving that this matter was
( published for two sequential weeks in a Local newspaper. The second is
~ proof that all landowners and immediately adjacent landowners have been
sent a copy of the first publication by certified mail. You should send
the green certified mail return receipts (or copies thereof) to our Division
as proof of notification to all these landowners.
