Now that it has become clear that the Colorado Lime Company (CLC) property boundary (includes an easement of a portion of the Docter number one claim) is the same as the affected land boundary which is the same as the permit boundary, there are certain issues that need to be addressed. The concerns will be listed using the same format that was used in the December 6, 2000 adequacy letter. 5) Rule 6.4.3 -Your location map, which is supposed to show adjacent surface owners, does not show Ms. Gloria Brown's home site. Since the northern boundary of the affected land is within 200 feet of her lot, you must show the location and ownership on this map. Also, you need to address the structure in Exhibit S. 6) Rule 6.4.3 -The Mining Plan Map must clearly show the areas that are to be mined and the direction of mining. The map you submitted adequately shows the direction of mining the waste dump but does not show the limestone or dolomite mining areas or the direction of mining. Your February 23, 2001 response to the Division's December 6. 2000 adequacy letter states that the "Location of a specific mining area can not be shown at this time." However, you also state that "Prior to mining by the drill and blast method, the operator shall submit to the Department of Minerals and Geology a detailed site specific plan of the area to be mined, the height and width of the benches, stockpile of ore and overburden, if there be any, together with a geotechnical evaluation by a licensed engineer all in compliance with rule 6.5..." This will require the submittal, and approval, of a technical revision which would include an updated map as well as all other pertinent information including the area(s) that will be used to temporarily stockpile the excavated overburden material. If, after completing the geotechnical evaluation, there are sienificant changes in the mining plan or reclamation plan, once a specific mining area is located, the revision submittal may require an amendment application. Permit approval will include a condition requiring a revision submittal, and approval by the DMG, prior to disturbing any
