Re: O'Rourke Pit, South Fork Pit, File M- 2014 -005, Technical Adequacy Review Letter
Dear Mr. O'Rourke,
The Division has been reviewing and discussing with you various issues associated with the Construction
Materials 110c permit application you submitted, as named above. This letter is intended to communicate
to you the remaining items that are still needing clarification or correcting, before the application can be
considered adequate for approval.
Please respond to each of the following items, and label them as shown below, to facilitate the Division's
review.
Exhibit E - Mining Plan Map
Please revise the mining plan map to include a better delineation of the area to be mined, including an
indication of the direction or phases of the mining operation. If certain areas are not to be mined, the map
should reflect that. The map should show onsite roads, and processing and stockpiling areas. It should
also show all significant structures on or near the proposed permitted area, including perimeter fences.
Please ensure that the map is signed and dated.
Exhibit E - Reclamation Mao
Please provide a revised reclamation map, showing the site as it is expected to appear after all mining and
reclamation have been completed. If certain areas are not to be mined, this should be reflected. It should
show all roads and other mining - related features that will remain after reclamation. Please ensure that it
includes sufficient topographic information to clearly represent the rate and direction of all sloped
surfaces, and is depicted at an appropriate scale. Please ensure that the map is signed and dated.
Proof of Publishing Legal Notice
Please provide proof of publishing the legal notice in a newspaper of general circulation within the county
where the proposed gravel operation is location. Proof of publication may be provided in the form of the
newspaper page on which the notice appears, or by a notarized affidavit from the publisher. The language
to be used in the notice is contained in the permit application packet. Please note that if any substantive
error appears in the notice it may have to be republished. Also note that the Division does not know the
date of the end of the public comment period, and the Division's decision cannot precede that date.
