Mr. Liesveld <br />Page 1 3 <br />February 17, 2011 <br />12. Please provide a description of the configuration of the site upon completion of reclamation. <br />The description shall include the final dimensions of the quarry rooms, staging areas and spill <br />areas. <br />13. As required by Rule 6.3.4(e), please specify the reclamation treatment of any waste rock <br />dumps that may be left on site. In addition, specify the reclamation treatment of the quarry <br />rooms. The Division considers the quarry rooms to be underground mine openings and as <br />such they will require closure, which at a minimum would consist of a locked grate across <br />the entrances. <br />14. The Applicant has stated the site will be landscaped. Please describe how the site will be <br />landscaped and clarify if this includes establishment of vegetation. <br />15. In the attached report, Colorado Rose Red Granite Quarry Report, the Applicant has stated <br />the waste rock dump to the south of the quarry is shrinking as the material is removed. Please <br />specify the dimensions of this waste rock dump and indicate the last time waste rock was <br />placed in this area. The waste rock dump will need to be incorporated into the permit area <br />and the reclamation of this area will need to be addressed through the Reclamation Plan as <br />required by Rule 6.3.5(2)(f). <br />16. As required by Rule 6.3.4(2), the Applicant is required to provide an estimate of the actual <br />cost to reclaim the site based on what it would cost the State of Colorado using an <br />independent contractor to complete reclamation. Determine and specify the point during the <br />operation when the site has reached a point of maximum disturbance. The cost to reclaim the <br />site to the specifications of the Reclamation Plan at this point must be estimated. The <br />reclamation cost estimate shall include the cost to reclaim the waste rock dump as well as the <br />closure of the quarry rooms. <br />6.3.5 Exhibit E - Map <br />17. The Applicant has submitted several maps which did not contain labels. Please submit a <br />labeled Mining Plan Map. The Mining Plan Map shall include the following information: <br />a) Outline and label the permit boundaries. The Amendment Application indicates the <br />Applicant is adding 8.95 acres to the permit area; the total permitted acreage of 9.95 acres <br />must be depicted on the Mining Plan Map. Please see comments under Exhibit C, No. 8 <br />and Exhibit D, No. 15. <br />b) Indicate the direction that construction material extraction will proceed. <br />c) Give the date the map was prepared. <br />d) Must be prepared and signed by a registered land surveyor, professional engineer, or <br />other qualified person.
