concurrent with mining. For purposes of the bond calculation performed by the Division, please indicate the maximum
length of highwall that will not be backfilled during mining activities at any one time.
Because objections were filed, this matter must be set for a hearing before the Mined Land Reclamation Boazd. The tentative
date for the hearing is August 20, 2003. However, the Division will need to make a recommendation by August 8, 2003.
Please be advised that the SW Meadow LLC, Heit Sand and Gravel, 112(c) Permit Application may be deemed inadequate,
and the application may be denied on August 8, 2003 unless the above mentioned adequacy review items aze addressed to the
satisfaction of the Division in a timely manner allowing for adequate time to review the responses. If you feel more time is
needed to complete your reply, the Division can grant an extension to the recommendation date. This will be done upon
receipt of a written waiver of your right to a recommendation by August 8, 2003 and request for additional time. This must
be received no later than the deadline date.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at [phone].
