Listed below are adequacy review comments for the H/S Properties Gravel Pit 1 10 (c) Permit Application, File No. M-
2007-042. The decision date for this permit application is August 16, 2007. The Division of Reclamation, Mining, and
Safety (Division) is required to make a decision by August 16. Therefore, your response to the following adequacy
review concerns should be submitted to the Division as loan as possible.
1. Please submit a new page 3 of the permit application, including the GENERAL DESCRIPTION (the number of
miles and direction from the nearest town and the approximate elevation).
2. As required by Rule 1.6.3 (3}, please submit the proof of publication of the public notice circulated in the local
newspaper.
Rule 6.3.4 Exhibit D -Reclamation Plan
3. Section (2) of the Reclamation Plan requires the Applicant to provide an estimate of the actual costs to reclaim the
Site based on what it would cost the State of Colorado using an independent contractor to complete reclamation.
Please be aware that the Division will also estimate the cost to reclaim the site based on the information submitted
in the application and responses to adequacy reviews
Rule 6.3.12 Exhibit L- Permanent Man-made Structures
4. The submitted mining plan indicates that "the existing bridge across an existing irrigation drainage ditch would be
replaced by a 15" culvert." Please supply ownership information regarding the irrigation ditch. If the ditch is not
privately owned by H/S Properties, please supply an agreement with the ditch company indicating that it has
agreed to the installation of the culvert.
5. Section (b) of this rule directs the Applicant to provide an appropriate engineering evaluation that demonstrates
that structures for which damage agreements cannot be obtained, shall not be damaged by activities occurring at
the mining operation. In lieu of a damage agreement for the Union Pacific Railroad right of way and tracks, the
applicant has supplied a statement from Jessica Loveland, P.E. of Ute Engineering and Surveying Company,
stating that as long as specific practices are incorporated during site activities, she does not believe that mining on
the property will have any impacts on the railroad interest. [n the absence of a datnage agreement, the Division
requires a geotechnical stability report related to potential impacts to the nearby permanent man-made structures.
Please submit either a damage agreement or the appropriate geotechnical stability report.
