ADDITIONAL INFORMATION(5-17-77) <br /> C'ORTEZ PIT - NIELSONS, INC. <br /> This information is to be added to the application for permit <br /> submitted on December 27, 1976 and should be considered part of <br /> same. If there are any discrepancies between this information <br /> and information submitted earlier, this information is to be <br /> used. <br /> COUNTY APPROVAL <br /> Please attach the enclosed map showing tracts A & B to the <br /> already submitted agreement between Nielsons, Inc. and the Montezuma <br /> Board of County Commissioners. <br /> RECLAMATION PLAN <br /> Approximately fcurteen of the sixteen affected acres will be <br /> revegetated. This includes the eleven acres of mining and <br /> approximately three acres of perimeter area used for stockpiling <br /> topsoil and reject material. The remaining two acres in the permit <br /> area that will not be revegetated consist of existing cliffs and <br /> walls and benches created by the mining operation. The benches <br /> will be from five to ten foot width, located at ten to twenty foot <br /> elevation incremants, and created as material is removed along the <br /> north and east pit walls. The walls will be left at an approximate <br /> 1/2:1 slope and like the benches will not be revegetated. <br /> Because of the type of mining, no reclamation can begin until <br /> mining ceases. The entire pit area has been and will be used for <br /> either, mining, stockpiling or processing until operations cease. <br /> Therefore, reclamation is not expected to begin before 1987. <br />
