Please submit a response to the following issues as <br />soon as possible, but no later than July 2, 2008 so the decision due date set for July 14, 2008 can be met. <br />If your response or a written extension request are not received by July 2, 2008 this application may be <br />denied <br />ADEQUACY COMMENTS <br />1. Please revise application form item no. 3 to specify the correct acreage to be added (32.91). <br />2.

Please submit documentation that provides reasonable assurance that the site will be used as <br />industrial/commercial land in the near future and provide proof that this use is approved by both <br />Grand County and the Town of Kremmling. <br />4. Please revise the AM-01 text to correctly state the conditions approved in the 1993 conversion to <br />a 112c permit. In that conversion, Grand County agreed to a topsoil replacement depth of 6 <br />inches across the entire site, not 1 inch on the pit floor and 4 inches on the pit slopes as stated in <br />this AM-O1 application. In that conversion, Grand County also agreed to final slopes of 4H:1 V, <br />not 2H:1 V as stated in this AM-O1 application.
