The Division is required to make an approval or denial decision no later than July 1, <br />2016; therefore, a response to the following adequacy review concerns should be submitted to the <br />Division as soon as possible. In order to allow the Division adequate time to review your responses to <br />any adequacy issues, please submit your adequacy responses to the Division no later than June 30, 2016. <br /> <br />The review consisted of comparing the Technical Revision content with specific requirements of Rules <br />1, 3, 6.1, 6.2, and 6.4 of the Minerals Rules and Regulations of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation <br />Board for the Extraction of Construction Materials. Any inadequacies are identified below. <br /> <br />1. The Division has reviewed the content of the approved Amendment 1 and the size of Tracts 1-4 <br />are 10 acres each. This Technical Revision proposes to add Tracts 5 and 6 within the affected <br />land/permit boundary. These two additional tracts should total 40 acres in size, but the Division <br />doesn’t have information on the size of each new tract individually. Please identify the size of <br />the two additional Tracts. <br /> <br />2. As proposed in TR-01, the Operator requests to have an active mining face as part of this <br />operation instead of committing that all slopes on the site would be 3H:1V or flatter. This active <br />mining face will be no taller than 25 feet and no longer than 300 feet. The Division has <br />completed the Financial Warranty calculation for the additional reclamation cost of the new task <br />to grade the active mining face to 3H:1V The additional reclamation cost estimate has been <br />calculated in the amount of $1,900.00. Please review the enclosed reclamation cost estimate <br />task sheets as soon as possible and contact our office if you have any questions or if you find any <br />calculation errors. When TR-01 is approved, the Division will issue a Surety Increase, giving the <br />Operator 60 days from that date to post the additional Financial Warranty. <br /> <br />This concludes the Division’s adequacy review of this Technical Revision. This letter shall not be <br />interpreted to mean that there are no other technical deficiencies in your request. Other issues may arise <br />as additional information is supplied. Please be advised the Fryrear Gravel Pit Technical Revision TR- <br /> <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3567 F 303.832.8106 http://mining.state.co.us <br />John W.
