RE: Response to South Fruita Gravel Pit ,Permit No. M-1981-243, Amendment No. 2 Preliminary
Adequacy Review
Dear Mr. Settle:
DMG has received your response to the initial preliminary adequacy review of your application for
Amendment No. 2 (AM-002) to the South Fruita Gravel Pit permit. This application cannot be
approved until the following issues are addressed.
Adeguacv Issues:
In response to your correspondence dated August 6a', 2001:
1) In reference to items 3 and 4: It is the Division's view that notice to affected parties is not
adequately met through a third party such as a county or local municipality review. It appears that
Ute Water and the Grand Junction Drainage District were not adequately noticed per the
requirements of Rule 1.6.2 (I) (e)(ii). Documentation supplied with Grand Junction Pipe's
response to the initial adequacy review support the fact that no objections exist. However, the
public's right to comment must be met per the rules and notice requirements. It has been Division
policy that in these situations the proper notice and a letter from the affected party waiving the 20
day comment period can keep the process moving. If the waiver is not included then "the
applicable public comment period shall begin to run anew" per Rule 1.6.6.. Please supply proof of
adequate notice and a waiver to the 20 day comment period for Ute Water and Grand Junction
Drainage District.
2) Item 7 states an agreement between parties is being negotiated on the redesign and construction of
the inlet and outlet structures for the diversion ditch. Grand Junction Pipe must commit to
maintaining a 200 foot buffer around this area until all parties have agreed.
3) Grand Junction Pipe has committed to seeding topsoil piles which will remain in storage for longer
than a yeaz. This is acceptable but please clazify what type of seed mix is to be used and in what
quantities.
All other responses to the preliminary adequacy review are acceptable and will be incorporated into the
amendment plans.
