Re: Development activity located within Sec. 3, T35, R66W, Adams County
Dear Mr. Janes:
On Tuesday, March 8, 1988, we received your request for a determination
of whether a mining and reclamation permit is required for the above
mentioned activity operation.
Your information indicated that Rocky Mountain Constructors intends to
excavate approximately 2000 truckloads of borrow material from a a 5-acre
field area and haul it, offsite to a construction site. Topsoil would be
salvaged and then respread, and the area returned to dry land wheat
farming. The site is located within an area which has received Adams
County approval for both a Temporary Use Permit and Preliminary Planned
Unit Development (P.U.D. ) You stated that* it seemed appropriate not to
require a Mined Land Reclamation Division permit, as the area is within
the P.U.D. and is part 'of the grading plan.
According to the description you provided, we have determined that this
operation is a mining operation as defined by 34-32-103(8) and is subject
to the requirements of the Mined Land Reclamation Act C.R:S. 34-32-101
et seq 1973 as amended. Our determination is based upon the following
inf—ormation:
1 . The excavated material meets the definition of "Mineral" as
defined in 34i 32-103(7);
2. Restoration of the land to a beneficial use of dry land wheat
farming is consistent with the definition of "reclamation" as .
outlined in 34-32-1030 3) and does not appear to be consistent
with the final, land use of a Planned Urban Development; and
