December 18, 2015 <br />State of Colorado <br />Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />RE: Craig Pit, La Plata County, #M-1976-027 <br />To Whom It May Concern, <br />Skanska USA Civil West <br />Rocky Mountain District <br />Mad PO Box 1660, Cortez, CO 81321 <br />Office 22419 Road G, Cortez, CO 81321 <br />Phone $70 565 8000 <br />Fax $70 565 0188 <br />Web www.skanska.com <br />Skanska is requesting a Technical Revision to the Reclamation Plan approved by the <br />DOR in November of 2000. Exhibit F in the Plan shows a map of the pit area upon <br />final reclamation. This map shows a 15' ramp going into the catchment basin which <br />the land owner, Phil Craig does not want. Skanska and Mr. Craig propose a 2% <br />grade to the top of the catchment basin, then steepen the slope to a� 4% grade to the <br />bottom of the basin. These shallow slopes will provide safe access df livestock to the <br />catchment basin when there is water contained from rainstorms and snowmelt. This <br />catchment basin will be somewhat smaller in surface area than what Exhibit F shows <br />and will be approximately 5 feet in depth. <br />Mr. Craig and Skanska are also requesting that about one half of 1he 2% sloped area <br />be graveled rather than topsoiled and seeded to facilitate livestock feeding access in <br />the wet weather and winter times. <br />Mr. Craig is requesting that Skanska remove 6 large boulders and'7 concrete wall <br />barriers from the area to be reclaimed and place these outside the �it area to be used <br />by Mr. Craig at a later date. <br />Please consider these Technical Revisions at your earliest conveniepce since Skanska <br />is on schedule to begin reclamation work the week of January 4th 2016. <br />Sincerely, <br />Skanska USA Civil West RMD, Inc. <br />tL— <br />rchluter <br />Aggregate Production Manager <br />
