Flickenlooper Governor Mike King Executive Director Loretta Pineda Director Re: Preliminary Review of a 112 Construction Materials Reclamation Permit Amendment Application Package AM -02, Turnpike Gravel Resource, Permit M2004- 009 The Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety has completed its preliminary adequacy review of your 112 construction materials reclamation permit amendment application. The application was called complete for review on July 25, 2012. All comment and review periods began on July 25, 2012. The decision date for this application is October 23, 2012. 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. In order to allow the Division adequate time to review your responses to any adequacy issues, please submit your adequacy responses to the Division no later than one week prior to the decision date (October 16, 2012). The review consisted of comparing the application content with specific requirements of Rule 6.1, 6.2, 6.4 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 clarification of the existing information. Any inadequacies are identified under the respective exhibit heading. APPLICATION FORM: The current and primary future post- mining land uses are identified as "developed water resource" on page 4 of the application form. This does not seem to be the correct choice. The only existing reservoir on site is part of the City of Erie's new PWTP, and the remaining previously planned lined reservoirs are now expected to be backfilled with shale. Current and post mining land uses should be changed to Industrial/Commercial to reflect the current Office of Office of Denver • Grand Junction • Durango Active and Inactive Mines
