Shelton Director September 9, 1980 Mr. Bob Freitag Park County Road & Bridge Dept. P. 0. Box 147 Fairplay, Colorado 80440 RE: Sulphur Mountain Gravel Pit - Our File: N77-365 Woodside Park Gravel Pit - Dur File: N77-366 Dear Mr. Freitag: I have reviewed the mining and reclamation permit applications on the above captioned operations. I find that they were both complete (and therefore filed) a long time ago, and should have been considered by the Board. Therefore, when the various adequacy issues outlined below are settled, permits will be issued on these two operations. As per our discussion of last August 6, I am awaiting the complete applications on the other eleven Park County gravel operations such that they may be permitted by the Board. My comments on the two existing complete app- lications will appear on an exhibit-by-exhibit basis below. Any exhibits not mentioned are considered adequate. For both pits, our Division must receive proof that publication by the County has occurred (see enclosed publication format) for two sequential weeks as per Rule 3.2. If this was not done previously, it should be done now. Adjacent landowners (such as Huron Investment Co. and the BLM for the Sulphur Mountain Pit) should also be notified as per Rule 3.22(3) and proof of this notification (certified mail receipts) should be provided to our staff. Again, if this was not done previously, i[ should proceed now. Sulphur Mountain Pit Application Item 12: For this to be a limited impact (110) application, the acreage must be under ten and is now given as ten. Please clarify the actual disturbed acreage. My comments as given below presume [his to be a 110 application. Exhibit B 1. What is to be the approximate depth of mining in the pit (o r, t if a side hill operation, the extent of the cut)7 2. Topsoil stockpiled for one growing season or more should be planted with a perennial grass cover crop such as Western Wheatgrass at a typical broadcast rate of 6 lbs. PLS/acre. This is for purposes of stabilization.
