Canany <br />Wastmmster CO 8021 Division Direcor <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />RE: Adequacy Review, Lafarge West, Inc, Permit Amendment, Riverbend Operation, <br />112cPermitAmendment OI, Permit No. M-2000-016 <br />Dear Ms. Janzen: <br />The Division of Minerals and Geology (the Division) has received your application for the Riverbend <br />Reclamation Permit Amendment and has reviewed the application for adequacy issues. The Division <br />has received formal objections to your Amendment application; therefore the Division is required to <br />make a recommendation to the Mined Land Reclamation Board (NLRB) three working days prior to a <br />Pre-Hearing Meeting. This meeting has been scheduled for March 3, 2005; therefore, the <br />following adequacy review concerns should be received by the Division by February 18, 2005 in order <br />to give the Division some time to review the responses. <br />The Division's comments/concerns are as follows: <br />1. Exhibit C -Pre-Mining and Mining Plan Maps <br />a) Since this application is an amendment to an existing permit, M-2000-016, the Riverbend <br />Operation, and will incorporate a second active pit, M-1985-088, the Fort Lupton Pit, into <br />the amended azea, the Division is requesting that the applicant provide a map showing the <br />boundaries of the two currently pernritted sites and their correlation with the azeas to be <br />incorporated into the Riverbend permit through the amendment process. This could be <br />done by adding the requested information to the current Exhibit C 1 Pre-Mine Map. <br />b) The legend on the Exhibit C3 Mine Plan Map indicates that the purple dashed line with two <br />dots between each dash represents lateral ditches. In the northeast corner of Phase 3 on this <br />map there are purple dashed lines with only one dot between each dash. What does this <br />symbol represent? <br />c) An examination of the Mine Plan Maps shows several locations, especially within Phases 4 <br />and 6, where the topsoilloverburden stockpiles aze located within 20 or 30 feet of the South <br />Office of Office of Colorado <br />Mined Land Reclamation Active and Inactive Mines l;onlnoiral aurvF•v <br />
