Cattany <br />Division Director <br />/Natural Resource Trustee <br />Re: Urie Gravel Pit, Application No. M-2009-038, Second Adequacy Review of 112 Construction Materials <br />Reclamation Permit Application Package <br />Dear Mr. Joy: <br />The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety has continued the review process for the above referenced 112 <br />application. The project appears to be a straight forward request to permit a construction materials operation. A <br />review of the response to the preliminary adequacy review has revealed a few clarifications and issues that need to be <br />addressed. <br />1. The Mine Plan states "No overburden or topsoil will be stockpiled along the river banks". Please clarify <br />the source of material for the proposed earthen sound barriers located along the river and to the northeast <br />of the permit area. Also please state what reclamation methods will be used to reclaim the sound <br />barriers. <br />2. Please state the total proposed surface area of the reclaimed pond and water depth. Also clarify in acres <br />the total area to be revegetated per phase. <br />3. Please state the amount of overburden that will be replaced per phase in inches. This is required to <br />accurately estimate the reclamation cost estimate. <br />This application cannot be approved until the issues brought forth are adequately addressed. Please submit a response <br />to the following issues as soon as possible, but no later than August 21, 2009 so the decision due date set for <br />September 1, 2009 can be met. If your response or a written extension request are not received by September 1, 2009 <br />this application may be denied. <br />If you need additional information, please contact me at the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety, Grand <br />Junction Field Office, 101 S. 3rd St., Suite 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, telephone no. 970.241.2042. . <br />Sincerely, <br />Travis Marshall <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />cc: Steve Shuey, DRMS <br />Office of Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Denver • Grand Junction • Durango Active and Inactive Mines
