Re: Public Review and Comment Period, Application for Certificate of Designation
Sedalia Recycling Center and Depository, Douglas County
Dear Mr. Sturges:
As you are aware, the Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) is obligated to
hold a 30-day public review and comment period as part of our comprehensive technical review
for each application for a Certificate of Designation (CD) for a solid waste disposal site and
facility. For the Sedalia Recycling Center and Depository application, CDPHE issued a press
release on November 3, 2000, and the public comment period closed on December 4, 2000. The
only comment received was a letter from Douglas County Planning Division, Community
Development Department, copy attached.
I am concerned that you have not adequately informed Douglas County Planning Division of your
intentions. I am also attaching a compliance bulletin explaining the CD application process. Both
the Douglas County fetter and the compliance bulletin point out the fact that the County is the
issuing authority for a CD. The Douglas County requirements must be met, and their procedures
are to be followed in the application process. Currently, as a courtesy, CDPHE is reviewing the
technical aspects of the proposed design and operation of the facility. We compare them with
statewide technical requirements contained in solid waste regulations, 6 CCR 1007-2. Upon
completion of our review, and with your satisfactory responses to our questions and additional
requirements, we will recommend approval to Douglas County, who will then continue with the
County review process.
Another item of concern for permitting this facility is its location within an active clay mine area.
Both the Douglas County Planning Division letter and my letter dated October 24, 2000 addressed
to Darry Ferguson, point out the need to provide documentation that your facility can operate as
planned within the mine area. This would require concurrence by Colorado Division of Minerals
and Geology, as mine permit agency, and Robinson Brick Company. Any requirements they may
