Re: Ft. Lupton Sand and Gravel Mine, Acreage Reduction Notification, Permit No. M-1999-120, Revision
AR-02
Dear Ms. Shults:
On May 18, 2009, the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety approved L.G. Everist's request for
release of the Golden phase of the Ft. Lupton Sand and Gravel Mine from further reclamation responsibility.
Unfortunately, due to an oversight at DRMS, initial notification letters for this action were not sent out timely to the
landowner and Weld County. This letter will serve as that notification. Due to this notification oversight, the
comment period will be extended to June 30 before the release will be finalized. As always, per Rule 1.4.11(b) any
decision made by the Division can be also appealed to the board within 30 days. As you are aware Weld County has
recently sent a letter to the Division objecting to the proposed release. Although the issues raised in this letter are not
within the jurisdiction of the Division, we would encourage you to seek resolution of these matters with Weld County
where appropriate.
When the AR-02 release is finalized, the permit area will be reduced to 256.00 acres, through the release of 36.00
acres in this permit action. Because the permit is not totally released, you are still liable for filing annual reports and
fees.
The final release of this area will reduce the total reclamation bond required for the site by $78,798. L.G. Everist may
submit to the Division a writer to reduce the total bond for the site by this amount. The required bond amount for the
site will be reduced from $1,076,670 to $997,872.
If you have any questions, please contact me at [phone], x8140.
Sincerely,
Eric C. Scott
Environmental Protection Specialist
