STATE OF COLOMDO <br />DIVISION OF RECLAMATION, MINING AND SAFETY <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />1313 Sherman St., Room 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Phone: (303) 866-3567 <br />FAX: (303) 832-8106 <br />DRMS MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />DATE: April 6, 2009 <br />TO: <br />FROM: Marcia Talvitie <br />Dan Mathews <br />RE: New Horizon TR-58 ( ermit No. C-81-008) <br />I have reviewed the referenced revision application (the submittal package dated <br />December 1, 2008), and I have the following adequacy comments. Over-all, the <br />application was well organized and addressed the major issues of concern. The <br />deficiencies are relatively minor and should be fairly simple to resolve. <br />COLORADO <br />DIVISION OF <br />RECLAMATION <br />MINING <br />SAFETY <br />Sill Ritter, Jr. <br />Governor <br />Harris D. Sherman <br />Executive Director <br />Ronald W. Cattany <br />Division Director <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />1. Although the application was generally well organized, we did note the following <br />editing/formatting/organization type problems: <br />In the revised table of contents for Section 2.05.4(2)(e), the section <br />immediately following Revegetation Success Criteria and Statistical <br />Procedures Irrigated Pasture, is Revegetation Monitoring All Areas, <br />which begins on page (e)-24 of the approved permit. This would imply <br />that the section titled Dryland Pasture Type, beginning near the bottom of <br />page (e)-21 of the approved permit is being deleted by the TR-58 <br />amendments. We do not believe this was intended, and the table of <br />contents should be properly amended to list the subject section and <br />relevant page. <br />Page (e)-20 is "left blank so the page numbering will match with the <br />original after the insert." This organization would leave the currently <br />approved page (e)-21 intact and in place, which would seem to be <br />problematic. The narrative on most of approved page (e)-21 relates to <br />technical standards of success for Irrigated Pasture cover and production, <br />which would be out of sequence and out-dated, upon approval of TR-58. <br />It would appear that a replacement page (e)-21 is warranted, with the <br />revised page intentionally left blank down to the Dryland Pasture Type <br />section heading. <br />There is a typo, numberic, in parentheses, following Irrigated Pasture <br />Success Standards, on the first page of the revised table of contents. <br />Office of Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Denver • Grand Junction • Durango Active and Inactive Mines
