Beltramo and Sons, Inc. <br />Dear Berhan: <br />RECEIVED <br />MAR 0 4 1999 <br />Diviswn of mmerais d neology <br />I will respond to your adequacy concerns in the same order as you presented them: <br />1. Exhibit D <br />Is all crushing and screeuing done on site? NO <br />If no, would the offsite processing site be added to the present permit? NO <br />The operator proposed to do both on and off-site processing, so not all crushing and screening will <br />be done on this site. The operator has a permanent crushing and screening set up on industrial <br />property they own on Stockyazd Road in Pueblo. This will not need to be added to this permit for <br />compliance. A portable plant may be brought into this site at.vazious times, depending on business <br />demand. <br />2. Exhibit E -Reclamation Plan <br />a. Division understands that a minimum of 6" of topsoil will be spread. <br />The application states "replacing topsoil (growth media) to a depth of 4" to 8", depending upon <br />availability, and will probably average 6". <br />As further explanation, these Cascajo soils have no true topsoil. The top layer is of sand and gravel <br />composition with some humus that has developed over the years in the top 3:" - 6". "Growth Media" <br />is a much more accurate term than "Topsoil." Some descriptions of this top layer say that it is 60% <br />rock and 40% sand, which I tend to believe. <br />"Your Brand of People" <br />
