Dillie and Oswald: <br />This letter follows-up on my letter of July 14, 1994 in <br />which I advised that the Colorado Springs Mining Reclamation <br />Advisory Committee would submit comments on the proposed <br />Amendments. We understand that Castle Concrete Company has <br />consented to extend the comment period so that the Division can <br />receive and consider our comments. <br />After reviewing the proposed <br />some general comments that apply <br />quarries and only a few comments <br />individual quarries. <br />GENERAL COMMENTS' <br />Amendments, the Committee has <br />to both the Snyder and Pikeview <br />that are specific to the <br />Foremost, the Committee would like to commend Castle for <br />taking a hard, critical look at the mining plans for these <br />quarries and developing new mining plans that are sensitive to <br />reclamation and visual impact. The proposed mining plans are a <br />tremendous improvement over the existing plans. The Amendment <br />applications are very well drafted and thoroughly explain both <br />the existing conditions and plans as well as the proposed plans. <br />The Amendments also provide much more detail than the original <br />1977 permits and subsequent amendments that control mining at <br />these quarries. As indicated in our prior meetings with Castle, <br />DCC\99999\98610.1 <br />
