Listed below are adequacy review comments for the Angie Pit 112 (c) Permit Amendment Application (AM-02), File
No. M-2000-049. The decision date for this permit application is June 4, 2008. The Division of Reclamation, Mining,
and Safety (Division) is required to make a decision by June 4, 2008. Therefore, your response to the following
adequacy review concerns should be submitted to the Division as soon as possible.
1. The status of Louisiana Land and Gravel Company is delinquent with the Colorado Secretary of State's
Office. The status of the company will need to be rectified prior to approval of the permit amendment.
Additionally, if this is not resolved, the operator may be found in violation of the permit. Please supply
documentation that the status of the company has been updated with the Secretary of State's Office.
2. As required by Rule 1.6.5 (2), please submit the proof of publication of the public notice circulated in the
local newspaper and all owners of record of surface lands, and easement holders that are on the affected land
and within 200 feet of the boundary of the affected land. Proof of notice may be return receipts of a Certified
Mailing or by proof of personal service.
Rule 6.4.4 Exhibit D - Minim Plan
3. The first line in the submitted exhibit states, "This is a new application for a sand and gravel operation located in
Montrose County." Please clarify that this is an application for an amendment.
4. Section 3.1.6(1) of the Mining Plan requires the Operator to minimize disturbance to the surface and groundwater
systems. The submitted Mining Plan states that all hazardous materials/petroleum products will be stored in a
storage cabinet that serves as primary containment for any spills. It is specified that this cabinet will be stored
within a trailer. Please specify whether the trailer is adequately constructed to serve as secondary containment, to
include raised thresholds at the entrance(s), or what secondary containment will be used in conjunction with
storage of these materials. This section also indicates that a 350 gallon fuel tank will be kept near the equipment
which uses the fuel for operation. Please identify the spill containment features that will be used in conjunction
with this fuel tank. Additionally, quantify the capacity of the berms and liner specified in the plan for containment
associated with the 1,500 gallon fuel tank that will be located onsite.
