Re: Preliminary Review of a 112 Construction Materials Reclamation Permit Amendment Application
Package, Firestone Gravel Resource, Permit No. M-1996-052
Dear Mr. O'Brian:
The Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety has completed its preliminary adequacy review of your 112
construction materials reclamation permit amendment application. The application was called complete for review on
January 22, 2010. All comment and review periods began on January 22, 2010. The decision date for this
application is April 22, 2010. 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. In order to allow
the Division adequate time to review your responses to any adequacy issues, please submit your adequacy
responses to the Division no later than one week prior to the decision date (April 15, 2010).
Please note that any changes or additions to the application on file in our office must also be reflected in the public
review copy, which has been placed with the Weld County Clerk and Recorder.
The review consisted of comparing the application content with specific requirements of Rule 6.1, 6.2, 6.4 and 6.5 of
the Minerals Rules and Regulations of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board for the Extraction of Construction
Materials. In general the application was substantially adequate; however, as with most applications there are a few
items that will require clarification of the existing information. Any inadequacies are identified under the respective
exhibit heading.
APPLICATION FORM: Adequate as submitted
EXHIBIT A - Legal Description (Rule 6.4.1): Adequate as submitted.
EXHIBIT B - Index May (Rule 6.4.2): Adequate as submitted.
EXHIBIT C - Pre-mining and Mining Plan Map(s) of Affected Lands (Rule 6.4.3):
Please show the locations, construction details, and dimensions (LxWxH) of any structures and foundations/pads
to be placed on the site as discussed in the mining plan including: conveyor systems, scale, sales buildings,
concrete batch and casting plants and asphalt batch plant and all associated supporting features. A Technical
Revision will be required at a later date to add any of these structures/features and provide details not specifically
included at this time. There will also be bonding implications for the removal of any structures placed on-site.
