Re: WRC Gravel Pit, Application No. M-2008-070, Completion of Application Review
and Final Reclamation Liability Estimate.-"
Dear Mr. Joy,
The Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety (DRMS) has completed the review of the above
referenced 112c application. Responses to adequacy and other issues received on January 12,
2009 appear to address the minimum requirements of the construction materials rules and
regulations.
Based on the final responses staff has calculated a Final Reclamation Liability Estimate. The
worse case scenario as pointed out in the application is the move from Phase 1 to 2a. This leaves
Phase 1 to reclaim, initial disturbances in Phase 2 and the Scale / Office Area to reclaim. Staff's
estimate is approximately 30% higher than that submitted in Exhibit L of the application. A
review notes that the exhibit did not include the scale house area, secondary seeding costs and
contract overhead. When these items are added to the exhibit estimate the numbers are fairly
close.
Please review the enclosed estimate. If there are any questions or errors please contact staff
immediately so that they may be addressed. If the estimate is acceptable please contact staff as
soon as possible as well. The acceptance of the estimate is the last issue prior to staff being able
to render a decision. The decision date is January 19th but due to the Martin Luther King Holiday
will actually be January 20, 2009. If staff receives confirmation of acceptance prior to that date a
decision will be forth coming at that time.
If you need additional information, please contact me at the Division of Reclamation, Mining and
Safety, Grand Junction Field Office, 101 S. 3rd St., Suite 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501,
telephone no. 970.241.1117.
