Re: Fruita Loadout (Pernlit No. C- 2010 -088)
New Application
Dear Mr. Stover:
The Division of Reclamation,, MMM9 and Safety (Division) has received your new permit
application to conduct coal in Colorado for CAM -- Colorado's proposed Fruita Loadout.
The application, submitted by CAM- Colorado LLC CAM- Colorado) was received on August 27,
2010. Our initial review indicates that all preliminary items required by Rules 2.03, 2.05, and 2.10
have not been submitted. Thus, your application is incomplete for the purposes of filing as of
September ', 2010.
The following materials and infor nation are required for completeness.
l . Rules 2.03.6 1 ) Right of Entry and Operation Information, 2.05.3 (3) line facilities
including road specifications, and 2.10.3 Specific Information Requirements -
Access to the proposed Fruita Loadout site is not decried in the permit appliation nor is it
shown on any of the maps submitted with the application. How CAM- Colorado proposes
to gain access to the site is required information that has not been provided. without the
access being clearly identified, the Division cannot determine completeness or adequacy of
the application. .Access would have to be gained via a haul road since coal will be
transported to the site by haul truck. There appears to be two viable options for entering the
permit area from a public road, these would he off of State Highway 6 & 50 or from County
Road 15. Access from County Road 15 would require crossing the inactive Gilsonite
Refinery on private land located to the cast of the peiTnit area and the legal right to enter
documentation would need to be provided. Further, a "Haul Road" is not a public road and
would be required to he located within the permit area and design specifications would have
to be provided in the permit application to comply with Rule 2.05.3(3)(c).
Rule 2.10.3 1 (b) Specific Infonnation Requirements requires that the permit application
include naps showing the boundaries of land within the proposed permit area upon which
the applicant has the legal right to enter and begin surface or underground mining activities.
