Re: Adequacy Review of a 111 Construction Materials Reclamation Permit Application Package, WSG
Sand Arroyo#2,Permit M2017-019
Mr. O'Brian:
The Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety has completed its adequacy review of your I I I construction
materials reclamation permit application. The application was called complete for review on May 18, 2017. All
comment and review periods began on May 18,2017. The decision date for this application is June 2,2017. Please
be advised that if you are unable to satisfactorily address any concerns identified in this review before the
decision date,it will be your responsibility to request an extension of the review period. If there are outstanding
issues that have not been adequately addressed prior to the end of the review period,and no extension has been
requested, the Division will deny this application. In order to allow the Division adequate time to review your
responses to any adequacy issues,please submit your adequacy responses to the Division no later than one week
prior to the decision date(May 26,2016).
Please note that any changes or additions to the application on file in our office must also be reflected in the
public review copy,which has been placed with the Huerfano County Clerk and Recorder.
The review consisted of comparing the application content with specific requirements of Rule 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 and 6.5
of the Minerals Rules and Regulations of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board for the Extraction of
Construction Materials. As with most applications there are a few items that will require clarification of the
existing information. Any inadequacies are identified under the respective exhibit heading.
Exhibit B—Site Description(Rule 6.4.2) The application states that there is a total of approximately 3 acres
of previously affected area within the proposed permit area. This affected area is comprised of two separate
smaller areas that have been impacted by activities(truck washout and material storage)conducted by a nearby
concrete batch plant, and do not currently have topsoil or vegetation. This batch plant is located outside of
the proposed I I I permit boundary, on land leased to them by the same property owner that is applying for
this I I I permit.
DRMS understands that these previously impacted areas may not be top-soiled and revegetated during
reclamation,however,as the permittee,WSG will be responsible for all activity within the I I I permitted area,
as well as for making sure that the permit area meets reclamation standards prior to release.
