The Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety has begun review of United's request for a technical revision, TR-
06, to the Rozman Pit permit. The revision request will address a revision to the mining and reclamation plans, and
permit area configuration. A preliminary review notes areas that need clarification. Please address the following:
1. The maps provided give clear details of the areas to be disturbed. However, a portion of the permit area
needing additional reclamation in the southeast has been omitted from submitted maps. Please clarify
that the permit boundaries for this area are unchanged. A smaller scale map denoting the new permit
boundaries after the TR and AR are approved is requested.
2. The new configuration of the pit and supporting documentation does not indicate how stormwater is
addressed. Please clarify that United is amending its SWMP with CDPHE and outline what measures are
or will be in place to prevent sedimentation / erosion issues into the Slate River.
3. Maps indicate a batch plant and 3 acre support area. Staff has discussed with United an amendment to
change the final reclamation from rangeland to industrial. However, a review of the original permit and
subsequent amendments, and revisions does not indicate such activities were ever included and
approved by the Division. Please submit documentation supporting that a batch plant was approved for
use in the permit area. If no documentation exists, the Division notes the current plant on site is not
covered by the reclamation bond. However, a pending amendment to change the post mine land use of a
section of the permit and relocate the plant to that area is planned. The Division will include the planet in
the bond when sufficient detail is provided at that time.
Please respond prior to the June 2, 2011 decision date or request an extension so that these final issues can be
addressed.
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.
