RE: Ferrero Pit (File M-2000-028) Results of adequacy review of 1 10 permit application
Dear Mr. Lewicki:
The Division has conducted a review of the permit application for the Ferrero Pit. The application is extremely well
done, however, the Division has identified the following adequacy concerns;
NOTICES: At [his time, there is no evidence with the permit application that the public notice required by
Rule 1.6.2 (1) (d) has been published.
Please provide evidence of compliance with the requivements of Rule 1.6.2 (1) (d) prior to the decision
date of April 7, 2000 in order that approval of the application may be considered at that time.
NOTICES: The Division is unable to locate evidence among the materials supplied with the application
that Mr. Mengatti, as owner of the surface and mineral rights to the land to be affected by the proposed mining
operation, has been advised of the application as required by Rulel.6.2 (I) (e) (i).
Please provide evidence of the required notification to Mr. Mengatti.
NOTICES: While the Division tends to believe that Mr. Mengatti owns all the surface lands within 200
feet of the proposed permit area, this is not clearly stated in the application.
Please indicate if Mr. Mengatti owns all the surface land within 200 feet of the proposed permit boundary.
If not, please provide an Exhibit A Map or a revised Exhibit E-Mine Plan Map with the adjacent owners and then
property identified and evidence of notifying these adjacent land owners as required by Rule 1.6.2 (I) (e) (ii).
EXHIBIT A (Rule 6.3.3 (2)): Identification of adjacent surface land owners is missing.
See cortective action under NOTICES issue immediately above.
EXHIBIT C (Rule 6.3.3 Q)) The application indicates anon-discharging sediment pond will be
constructed to capture surface runoff from the site. The Office of the State Engineer, however, has required at times
that surface runoff not be retained longer than 3 days before release.
Please provide evidence of contact with the Office of the State Engineer and that the proposed retention of
surface runoff from the site in the sediment pond does not conflict with that Office's requirements.
EXHIBIT C (Rule 6.3.3 (k)): However unlikely it may be that any refuse or acid or toxic producing
materials will be exposed during the mining operation, Rule 6.3.3 (k) requires an applicant to describe how such
materials will be handled and disposed of in the event they are exposed.
Please indicate how any refuse or acid or toxic producing materials will be handled and disposed of in the
event such are exposed during the mining operation.
