RE: Heintzelman Project (Pit 116); DRMS File No. M-2009-018; Adequacy Review - 02
Dear Mr. Janes,
The Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety (Division) has identified several other
comments and questions that must be addressed prior to the Division's decision due date. Please
be advised that if you are unable to satisfactorily address any concerns identified in this
review before the decision date, it will be your responsibility to request an extension of the
review period. If there are outstanding issues that have not been adequately addressed
prior to the end of the review period, and no extension has been requested, the Division will
deny this application.
Application Form

Response did not contain a notary seal. Please submit a replacement page with the notary

2. The maps that were submitted with the permit application locate the north, west, and south
project boundary near the center of the adjacent Weld County Roads. The use of Weld
County's Right of Way (ROW) requires the appropriate permit from Weld County. The
Division cannot approve a permit boundary that lies within the Weld County ROW, without
the applicant demonstrating a legal right of entry. Please demonstrate a legal right of entry
onto Weld County's ROW. Should the Applicant choose to move the project boundary
outside of Weld County's ROW, then all applicable exhibits should be revised to reflect this
change.
3. The Applicant submitted a copy of the `Statement of Understanding' sent to owners of
significant, valuable and permanent man-made structures that are located within 200 feet of
the affected land. A copy of the `Statement of Understanding' was sent to Anadarko;
