Richartl D. Lamm <br />Governor <br />~II ~I~~I~~I~~~~~~I~ <br />sss <br />DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES <br />Dantl H. Getches, Executive Director <br />MINED LAND RECLAMATION DI\ <br />DAVID C. SHELTON, Director <br />November 23, 1983 <br />Mr. Don Carrol <br />Weld County Department of Engineering <br />933 North 11th Avenue <br />Greeley, Colorado 80631 <br />Dear Mr. Carrol: <br /> <br />The letter addressed to Mr. Gerald B. McRae from the Soil Conservation <br />Service (Alan R. Forkey) of July 13, 1983 (submitted as Exhibit D for 3 <br />permit applications) lists four different mine sites. The Division has <br />received permit applications for Sheffler Pit (File No. 83-202), Wilson <br />Pit (File No. 83-203), and J. Ehmke Pit (File No. 83-201). The Division, <br />however, has not received an application on the fourth site inventoried <br />by the SCS, Lehr Pit. Has Weld County decided to not obtain a pennit for <br />the Lehr site or is the county in the process of putting together a <br />112-Regular Operation permit application for this 20± acre site? <br />From the way the SCS has worded their correspondence, it appears that all <br />four sites are current gravel mines. After reviewing files No. 83-201, <br />83-202, and 83-203, these sites have been disturbed; therefore, the <br />Division can only assume the fourth site, the Lehr Pit, is a current <br />gravel mine. If this is the case and the disturbance at the Lehr Pit is <br />due to Weld County, then the county must get a pennit application in for <br />this site as soon as possible. If the site has been disturbed by Weld <br />County and no application has been received by the time this site is <br />inspected by the Division, the Division will be forced to bring Weld <br />County before the Mined Land Reclamation Board for mining without a <br />permit. <br />Please respond in writing to the Division's concerns regarding the Lehr <br />Pit by January 4, 1984. If you have any questions or comments, feel free <br />to contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~~;~~ <br />Peter V. 0 Connor <br />Reclamation Specialist <br />PVOC/eap <br />Doc.
