As described in the application’s cover letter, the purpose of PR-07 is <br />to re-evaluate prime farmlands within the permit boundary; evaluate the stockpiled soils for use <br />in reclamation; and revise the revegetation success standard for Irrigated Cropland. <br /> <br />On October 29, 2012, the Division determined that the application was incomplete for purposes <br />of filing, based on a number of formatting errors we discovered, and on the inclusion within the <br />application of a number of attachments to which no revisions were being proposed. <br /> <br />Modifications to the application were received on November 5, 2012. The Division has <br />conducted a cursory review of the application as it currently stands, and finds that a <br />determination of completeness can not yet be made. Due to the number of issues identified <br />during the cursory review, the Division did not complete a review of the entire revision. A list of <br />issues identified is provided below. <br /> <br />Formatting Issues: <br /> <br /> <br />Tables of Contents for various sections are incomplete <br /> <br />Within the text, tables are sometimes divided between two pages, with no identification <br />of the table or column headers provided on the second page. <br /> <br />In the attachments, where tables span multiple pages, column headings for the various <br />parameters are missing on all but the first page of the table <br />Office of Office of <br /> <br />Mined Land Reclamation Denver • Grand Junction • Durango Active and Inactive Mines <br />
