The Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety (DRMS) has received your response to the initial Preliminary
Adequacy Review. While the response clarified or corrected many issues, there are still several that need to be
addressed. Please find attached an Additional Adequacy Review sheet. Items that need additional clarification or
correction are in bold italics. Primary issues noted are:
Additional corrections on maps;
The issue of potential capture of the pit in a flood event by the Yampa. DRMS must have clear
documentation and information to ensure that either a) the pit does not have the potential to be
captured by the Yampa River or; b) structures will be engineered and constructed to prevent capture
should it be over taken by flood waters in a one hundred year event;
Documentation of proof of notice and identification of landowners within 200 feet of the proposed
project.
Per Rule 1.4.6(1) the decision date is March 26, 2010 provided all issues have been addressed. DRMS staff does
not have all information and corrections in order to do a reclamation liability estimate on or before the 26th to
finish up the decision process. The requested information regarding the flood plain and analysis will take time
beyond the March 26th decision date. Please contact staff as soon as possible to discuss an appropriate extension
request to the current decision date.
If you need additional information please contact me at the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety, Grand
Junction Field Office, 101 S. 3rd St., Suite 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, or by telephone no. 970.241.1117.
