Abel Montoya <br />DIRFC'IOR <br />June 19, 2013 <br />Tony Waldron, North Unit Leader <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining & Safety <br />1313 Sherman St., Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />Re: Debetz Pit Permit M -1977 -283 <br />DRMS Civil Penalties Due Letter Dated July 11, 2013 <br />Dear Mr. Waldren: <br />Planning & Development Department <br />4430 South Adams County Parkway <br />1° Floor, Suite W2000A <br />Brighton, CO 80601 -8216 <br />PHONE 720.523.6800 <br />FAX 720.523.6998 <br />www.adcogov.org <br />While it is this Department intention to maintain compliance with DRMS regulations, a situation <br />of compounding errors delayed our payment of the required 2012 annual fee for the Debetz Pit. <br />The pit was mined by the County's Public Works Department and has been mined out and in <br />reclamation since 2001. The pit is on property under the County's Parks Department control and <br />is located at the north end of the County's golf course which uses it as a water hazard. <br />Adams County made a major business office move to a campus in 2011. Mail received at our <br />campus has not always found its way to the proper end point. We believe the original notice for <br />the annual fee sent in November of 2012, was lost in the system.. We did receive the "Final <br />Notice" mailed in January of 2013, with a deadline of February 1, 2013. <br />We immediately sent the notice to our Parks Department for a 112c Annual Report, as the pit is <br />under Parks Department's jurisdiction. We received the report back from Parks on January 28a' <br />and sent a request for a check taken out of my budget on January 29a'. The check was dated <br />March 5a'. <br />We realize this is not an excuse and have taken steps to prevent an occurrence like this from <br />happening again. Since the pit will continue to be handled by multiple County Departments, we <br />will send a request for an Annual Report to our Parks Department in December regardless of <br />receipt of notification from DRMS. <br />Due to these circumstances we are asking for the civil penalties to be waived this one time. <br />Thank you for your time and consideration. Any questions regarding this request may be <br />directed to Craig Tessmer at 720 -523 -6841. <br />cerely, . <br />c eon <br />Craig T er <br />Environmental Analyst <br />B O A R D OF C O U N T Y C O M M I S S I O N F R S <br />Eva J.
