Re: Smith Pit No.20, Permit M-1978-085, Amendment (AM-01), Complete for review.
Dear Mr. Moore,
The Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety received Moffat County's application for an
amendment to the above referenced permitted operation on January 21, 2009. A review by staff
of the completeness of the application was conducted on January 27, 2009. Staff has determined
that the application is complete and ready for review. Per Rule 1.4.8 the Decision date is set 90
days from the completeness date which is April 27, 2009. Please be aware that if all issues are
resolved prior to that date a decision may be rendered. If an objection to the amendment is
received which cannot be resolved the matter would be scheduled for the May 2009 Mined Land
Reclamation Board hearing at the earliest.
Per Rule 1.6.2(d), the operator must start publication of the required public notice within 10 days
of this letter for four (4) times, once a week for consecutive weeks. The end of the public
comment period is 20 calendar days from last date of publication of the notice. Please inform
staff of the commencement of the public notice process, the final date of publication and the
comment period end date. The required proof of publication may be sent in at a later date. The
dates are important in helping schedule the review of the amendment.
If you need additional information, please contact me at the Division of Reclamation, Mining and
Safety, Grand Junction Field Office, 101 S. 3rd St., Suite 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501,
telephone no. 970.241.1117.
