We will submit a revised cost estimate based on 9.4 acres. The 0.5-acre roadway will not be <br /> reclaimed. It will be a permanent roadway serving the newly created subdivision known as Platte <br /> Valley Industriial Park. We recognize that we can seek a surety reduction one a permanent plan of <br /> augmentation is in place. <br /> e. Please revise the estimate for revegetation for the entire 9.9 acre affected area. <br /> vii.PYRE Response: We can provide an estimate for revegetation that would include the entire 9.9 acres, <br /> but that seems to fly in the face of facts. Looking at a google earth map of the immediate area(see <br /> attached)shows that any excavation that has occurred in this immediate area has resulted in a pond,The <br /> proximity to the South Platte River and the high water table almost make this a certainty. <br /> Again,assuming the pit's final disposition is a pond,re-vegetation will not be possible for the entire 9.9 <br /> acres. The cost estimate is based on revegetation of that area projected to lie outside the pond. I am also <br /> including a cost estimate showing top soil replacement for 9.9 acres but do not believe that will be the end <br /> result. <br /> viii.DRMS Response: Similar to the item above, since the applicant has committed to not exposing <br /> groundwater until a permanent augmentation plan has been obtained,a pond will not be created initially. <br /> Given this,the Division's cost estimate will include the revegetation of the entire 9.9 acre affected area. <br /> Our revised cost estimate will include revegetation of 9.4 acres. The roadway will not be <br /> revegetated. It is a permanent roadway serving the newly created subdivision known as Platte <br /> Valley Industriial Park. <br /> Reclamation Cost Estimate <br /> estimate supplied with the application at this point in the review process. Given adequacy review item <br /> #10 and the new road, either the mining and reclamation plan will need to be changed to include the road <br /> within this permit area or a 112 application will need to be submitted. Given this,the Division cannot <br /> conduct a cost estimate at this time. <br /> We assume the information provided will allow the Division to complete a cost estimate. <br /> We hope this responds to the questions and issues raised at this point.
