The Division has reviewed the l l lc permit application and has the following issues that need to be
addressed or clarified.
1) Although it is appazent, please clarify that no explosives aze going to be used as is required under
Rule 6.3.3(P)
2) Please find enclosed a photo taken today along the northern edge of the on going activity.
According to the maps supplied it appears that there is an intended buffer zone between the mesa
edge and the excavation. Staff notes that by scale at the narrowest point it should be
approximately 25 feet. There is no point of reference on site but the disturbance appears to be
within 15 feet in some areas that should be wider. Please clarify and if necessary adjust maps to
correct the discrepancy.
3) The Railroad -right of way is within 200 feet of the proposed permit edge. Please note the
railroad right of way in Exhibit L.
4) Within the Mining Plan please note measures being taken to prevent the accidental spill of
materials onto the railroad tracks below.
5) Please note in the Mining Plan how permit boundaries will be marked to prevent excavation
outside the permit boundaries. Please note that such activities are a violation of the permit and
cause for another hearing before the Board.
6) Please submit a damage waiver or engineer's statement as required under Rule 6.3.12(c) for the
railroad within 200 feet of the proposed permit boundaries.
7) The Division has been advised by the AGO Office that more substantive proof of a government
contract statement is necessazy for Exhibit K. The City's legal consul has been in conference
with the AGO about the possibility of supplying either a copy of some sort of City approval for
the excavation or an affidavit affirming the materials are only for the Riverside Parkway Project.
8) Please state that the City will request a full release of the Notice of Intent, P-2005-004 for this
site as it is now in•elevant upon approval of the permit application.
