Re: Montgomery Pit, PB/m%t No. M-1986-104, App/oval of AM-01, Change of Post M%ne Land Use. "aural ource Trustee
Dear Mr. Lewicki:
Staff has completed the review of the above referenced amendment (AM-O1) to change the post mine land
use from rangeland to commercial residential. Due to an error in the publication of the public notice
extending public comment up to the Decision Date of the 13`", which is a legal holiday, the decision on the
amendment had to be pushed back to the 15t" of October to accommodate any comments from the public.
No additional comments were received and staff may now approve the amendment.
It is the Division's understanding, that the change from rangeland to commercial /industrial is contingent
upon local approvals of a Special Use or Conditional Use Permit. In the event that such approvals are not
granted, the operator wishes to maintain the current approved post mine land use of rangeland. The
operator must supply documentation to this Office to support the final decision by the local authority prlOf to
any site or firiancial warranty release requests, as staff will have no basis to refer to in making a decision on
those matters. The current bond of $83,830.00 is deemed adequate as it was recalculated in March of this
year and reflects current conditions.
If you need additional information, please contact me at the Division of Minerals and Geology, Grand
Junction Field Office, 101 S. 3rd St., Suite 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, telephone no.
