It was received via fax on April 12, 2015. <br />In your letter, you noted that the term `cover crop' was used incorrectly and that `rotation crop' should have <br />been used to properly describe the sprouting vegetation in the inspection report. <br />The definition of cover crop as defined in the permit on page 2.05.4(2)(e) -39 is the seed mix used immediately <br />after the final placement of the topsoil intended to provide fast vegetation to protect against erosion and add <br />organic matter to the soil. A rotation crop as described in the permit on page 2.05.4(2)(e) -41, will be seeded <br />following seedbed preparation in Year 1. <br />Since your fields have had the topsoil spread and the seedbed has been prepared, the correct term for the crop <br />sprouting on your fields is `rotation crop.' <br />The March 2015 inspection report has been revised to state that the crop sprouting in your fields is the rotation <br />crop. Please see the attached report. <br />If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at (303) 866 -3567 ext 8142. <br />Sincerely, <br />AW�A--L <br />Brock Bowles <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />brock.bowles @state.co.us <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3567 F 303.832.8106 http: / /mining.state.co.us <br />John W.
