Re: Midway Pit Permit Application (File M-88-018)
Dear Mr. Vette:
We have recently completed a review of the Midway Pit permit application. Our
review, which is enclosed, indicates that some work is still necessary before the
Mined _and Reclamation Board can approve the permit. Most of the information we
still need can be obtained from Permits M-80-086 and M-80-156. We would encourage
you to use specific information from those permits, particularly for soils and
vegetation descriptions, whenever possible.
Regarding the mining and reclamation plans, we will need a much more detailed and
specific description of the anticipated activities at the Midway Pit. With these
specific descriptions, please include maps which show distinct mining and
reclamation areas, as well as the probable sequence and direction of mining and
reclamation activities. It is also necessary that we be provided with a map which
clearly shows the entire permit area with all mining related structures
(stockpiles, roads, building, scales, diversions, etc.) and the distinct mining
areas. This will greatly enhance our ability to review the revised mining and
reclamation plans in a timely manner.
E1 Paso County has indicated that they have not been approached for Special Use
approval. They have also indicated that the proposed mining and reclamation plans
may not be compatible with adopted county plans and/or zoning requirements. The
Mined land Reclamation Act does not allow the Board to approve a permit application
if an operation does not have county approval. Therefore, we suggest that you
contact the E1 Paso County Land Use Department, and initiate whatever actions are
necessary to resolve any outstanding issues. If you feel that a meeting between
Midway„ the County and Mined Land would be beneficial, please contact us.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your efforts in permitting
this site thus far, However, I would like to emphasize that it will be absolutely
necessary to file a complete and concise permit application before seeking Board
approvi:.l in June. I strongly encourage you to contact the E1 Paso County Land Use
Department and attempt to resolve their concerns. I also suggest that you contact
the Federal Department of Transportation regarding the right to enter issue. The
right t:o enter problem is critical at this site, and may determine whether the
permit application is approvable or not. _
