Ross Pit, Permit No. M-1990-134, Response to Concerns and Requests <br />Dear Mrs. Hall: <br />Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns with the Division of Reclamation, Mining and <br />Safety (Division) regarding the above referenced sand and gravel operation. The Division is responsible <br />for overseeing mining and reclamation activities, serving as staff to the Mined Land Reclamation Board <br />(Board) which has exclusive jurisdiction over reclamation. The Board's jurisdiction does not extend to <br />land use decisions, visual or economic impacts, noise, traffic, dust and other nuisances, or <br />socioeconomic issues. Local government, through the local land use, planning and permitting process <br />handles these issues. The extent of the Board's jurisdiction pertaining to significant, valuable and <br />permanent man-made structures is limited to within two hundred feet of the permit area. The Division <br />believes that your concerns and requests for the Ross Pit would be more properly addressed through <br />local government. <br />Again, we appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns with the Division. If I may be of further <br />assistance, or you feel that your concerns were not adequately addressed in this letter, please do not <br />hesitate to contact me. <br />Sincer , <br />Dustin Czapla <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />101 South 3rd Suite 301 <br />Grand Junction, CO 81501 <br />Phone: (970) 243-6299 <br />Fax: (970) 241-1516 <br />Office of Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Denver Grand Junction Durango Active and Inactive Mines
