RE: Preliminary Adequacy Review for 110 Construction Materials Permit Amendment Application AM02,
Caliche School Pit; File No. M-2005-067
Dear Mr. Couch:
The Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety (Division) has completed its preliminary adequacy review of your 110
construction materials reclamation permit amendment application. The application was received on September 29, 2010
and called complete for review on October 5, 2010. The decision date for this application is November 4, 2010. Please
be advised that if you are unable to satisfactorily address any concerns identified in this review before the decision
date, it will be your responsibility to request an extension of the review period. If there are outstanding issues that
have not been adequately addressed prior to the end of the review period, and no extension has been requested, the
Division will deny this application.
The review consisted of comparing the application content with specific requirements of Rule 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, and 6.5 of the
Minerals Rules and Regulations of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board for the Extraction of Construction
Materials. In general the application was substantially adequate; however, as with most applications there are a few items
that will require the submittal of additional information or clarification of the existing information. Inadequacies are
identified under the respective exhibit heading along with suggested actions to correct them.
Application Form
Line 1 Applicant/Operator - Should read "Clyde A. Couch" not Caliche School Pit. This will match the
Applicant/Operator line on Page 7 exactly, and no other modifications will be needed to the certifications page.
Section 12 Primary future land use - should be changed to "rangeland" instead of pastureland. This will match the text
in the rest of the application, as well as be a more accurate characterization.
Section 13 Primary present land use - should be changed to "mining" instead of pastureland as the site is a currently
permitted operation.
6.3.1 EXHIBIT A - Legal Description and Location Map
The legal description and location map is adequate as submitted.
