Thank you for taking the time to be involved in the review process for the above referenced permit
application. An explanation of the Division's review process, your rights as either a party or a non-party,
and the jurisdiction of the Mined Land Reclamation Board (the Board), is provided in the enclosed 12-
page memo, Guide to Citizen Participation. As noted in the citizen's guide memo, in these proceedings
the Division's authority is limited to enforcement of the "Colorado Land Reclamation Act for the Extraction
of Construction Materials, 34-32.5-101 et seq., C.R.S. (the Act), and the Mineral Rules and Regulations
of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board for the Extraction of Construction Materials (the Rules),
which can be accessed on the Division's website at http://www.mining.state.co.us/.
Pursuant to Rule 1.4.9, on or before June 15, 2009, the Division shall issue a recommendation to
approve, approve with conditions or deny the Red Mesa Pit application. Copy of the Division's written
recommendation shall be provided to all parties and interested persons.
The Division has received written objections to the Red Mesa Pit application. Therefore, pursuant to
Rules 1.7.4(2) and 1.4.1(9), the Division has scheduled the application for a Formal Board Hearing for
consideration. The hearing has been scheduled for the August 12-13, 2009 Board meeting at 1313
Sherman Street, Room 318, Denver, Colorado, beginning at 9:00 a.m., or as soon thereafter as the
matter can be considered.
Prior to the Formal Board Hearing, the Division will schedule a Pre-hearing Conference. The Pre-
hearing Conference will be held to describe the Division's review process, to explain the rights and
responsibilities of parties, to discuss and resolve issues to the extent possible, to describe the Board
Hearing processes, to propose a list of issues under the Board's jurisdiction, to simplify that list, and to
identify parties. All persons who timely objected to this application will receive notice of the date, time
and place of the Pre-Hearing Conference.
Please contact me at the Division's office in Durango at 691 County Road 233, Suite A-2, Durango,
