During the inspection we noted Russian knapweed along the irrigation ditch. This elevates the importance of including <br />a noxious weed control plan in this amendment. This office approved the weed plan that was included in the recent <br />Alamosa Pit (M-2009-094) application. You are encouraged to include a similar plan for this permit amendment. <br />Exhibit E - Reclamation Plan (Rule 6.4.5) <br />As noted above, there is no noxious weed control plan for this permitted area yet. Though it is not a requirement at <br />this time, there may be a future time when this office will require that an adequate weed control plan be prepared and <br />added to the permit. This notation is made only for your information. <br />Related to the question about pit slope gradients, in Exhibit D, above, please also state under this Exhibit E whether the <br />3:1 slopes will be created continuously during the mining stages, or if they will be created during reclamation after the <br />mining ceases. <br />Exhibit R - Proof of Filing Materials at the County Clerk and Recorder (Rule 6.4.18) <br />This exhibit is adequate, in that you have provided proof of the initial filing, as well as proofs of subsequently filing all <br />additional materials. Please ensure that you continue to file future application materials and submit to this office the <br />receipts you obtain therefor. This must be received by this office before the decision date. <br />Decision Date <br />The Division's decision date is currently set for April 20, 2010. Please try to respond to all adequacy items included in <br />this letter. All adequacy response materials should be submitted in duplicate and at least several days before the <br />decision date to allow sufficient time to review the materials. <br />I must state that if the application is not adequate for approval by the close of business on the decision date, the <br />application may be denied. If additional time is needed for preparing and submitting your responses, please send me a <br />written request for an extension, specifying the length of additional time needed. <br />All amendment adequacy response materials must be submitted in duplicate. They may be sent to the Division's <br />Durango field office, where you may also contact me if there are any questions: 691 CR 233, Room A-2, Durango, CO <br />81301; telephone 970-247-5193. <br />Sincerely, <br />?? <br />Bob Oswald <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Ec: Steve Shuey, DRMS <br />(cAl0-03\aci del norte west am01 adg2/rco)
