Lochhrad E~ecuove Director Michael B Lung Division Direcbr Re: Van 4 Shafr, File No. M-97-032, Technical Adequacy Review Letter. Dear Ms. Rehmann, Your last submittal, of the items required for the above-named permit application to be found complete, has been received. You were sent a letter dated 11/3/95 notifying you of that, plus that the Division's decision date on the application is set for 12/3/98. Please ensure that you have published the required notice and mailed notices to all adjacent owners of property. I phoned yoLl last week to discuss the decision date. I left a message regarding the possibility of you waiving the right to a 30-day decision (meaning a request f'or an extension of the decision date). My call to you was made after amining-related incident was reported to our office, which incident could possibly demand your full and timely attention, thereby giving responses to this 30- day review a lower priority. Since I received tto response to that call, I atn reiterating my concern herein, which is that a lack of timely response could cause the denial of the application. I have included in this letter numerous items which must be answered or claritied before the Division can approve the application. Please note that if no timely response is received from you, or the response is inadequate, ttte Division's decision will have to be to deny this application. Also, Xve received a letter from Montrose County, dated 8/13/98, which included concerns about the application materials. The topics of concern appear to fall within the purview of the Division. Since we have no record of a written response from you or resolution of the concerns, eve will include those concerns in our adequacy review. If your responses are satisfactory to the Division, Montrose County stated that there will be no formal written objection filed. Most of the specific area in your application is already included in the permitted acreage for a permit called the Thunderbolt Group, permit no. M-77-257, operated by Umetco. My questions and concerns are listed below in the order of the application item or exhibit to which they pertain.
