The ARR requirements are found in Rule 2.04.13 <br />of the Regulations of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board for Coal Mining. <br /> <br />The Division has finished its review of the 2017 ARR. The reports were complete and had all the required <br />information. The Division does has the following comments: <br /> <br />1. The 5.1 acres located south and east of topsoil piles 1 and 2 was seeded in 2016. The area was re- <br />disturbed in 2017 and is being subtracted from the seeded acres in the 2017 ARR. <br />2. The seed tags included in the ARR show that crested wheatgrass was in the dryland #8 seed mix used <br />for reclamation last year. Crested wheatgrass was removed from the dryland #8 seed mix in TR-14, <br />June 2017. Please update your seed mix order so that crested wheatgrass is not used in any 2018 <br />reclamation. <br /> <br /> <br />If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at (303) 866-3567 ext 8142. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Brock Bowles <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />brock.bowles@state.co.us <br /> <br />cc: <br />May 21, 2018 <br /> <br />Mr. Chris Gilbreath <br />Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, Inc. <br />P.O.
