•' , application. Mr. Gillis stated that BLM's previous request to withdraw from party status did not constitute withdraw of the objection to the application. Mr. Yeager stated that he was representing the Delta County Commissioners and that the Commissioners were opposed to the approval of the application. Mr. Yeager stated that the Commissioner's objection to the application was limited to a traffic safety issue located at the intersection of County Road J-50 and Highway 92. Mr. Yeager stated that due to the high speed of the traffic on Hwy 92 (65 mph) and the alignment (curve) of Hwy 92 at the referenced intersection, the Commissioners were concerned that the gravel trucks from the proposed operation needed an acceleration and deceleration lane to safely access Hwy 92 from County Road J-50. Mr. Yeager stated that the absent acceleration and deceleration lane for Hwy 92 was the only objection issue to the application that the Commissioners had identified. Mr. Gillis clarified for the Delta County Commissioners, that their traffic safety issue did not appear to be addressed by the Construction Materials Act and Rules, and therefore appeared to be anon-jurisdictional issue for DMG and the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board. Mr. Gillis stated that DMG had not received a written statement of opposition to the approval of the application from the Commissioners, and that Delta County must submit their written objection to the application within five (5) working days from today, the date of the Informal Conference. Mr. Yeager indicated that he would submit a written statement of opposition to the approval of the application within the five day deadline. Mr. Yeager also indicated that if the Applicant could reach an agreement with the Commissioners, to resolve the traffic safety issue, Delta County would withdraw their objection to the approval of the application. Mr. Yeager indicated that the Commissioners had scheduled a meeting with the Applicant, for August 3, 2000, to attempt to resolve the traffic safety issue. No additional issues were raised during the Informal Conference.
