Re: Conger Harvest Area, Permit M-1998-022, Conversion from 110c to 112c, CN-01,
Complete for Review.
Dear Mr. Balaz,
The Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety received The Gallegos Corporation's application
for a conversion to a 112c permit to the above referenced permitted operation on September 2,
2009. A review by staff of the completeness of the application was conducted on September 3,
2009. Staff has determined that the application is complete and ready for review. Per Rule 1.4.8
the Decision date is set 90 days from the completeness date which is December 3 2009. Please
be aware that if all issues are resolved prior to that date a decision may be rendered. If an
objection to the conversion is received which cannot be resolved the matter possibly would be
scheduled for the December 2009 Mined Land Reclamation Board hearing at the earliest.
Per Rule 1.6.2(d), the operator must start publication of the required public notice within 10 days
of this letter for four (4) times, once a week, for consecutive weeks in a local newspaper. The
end of the public comment period is 20 calendar days from the last date of publication of the
notice. Please inform staff of the commencement of the public notice process, the final date of
publication and the comment period end date. The required proof of publication must be sent in
once the publication period has ended. Please note the submission of publication dates is
important in helping staff schedule the review of the conversion.
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.
