Mark A. Heifner <br /> 37 East Colorado Avenue Denver, Colorado 80210-3105 (303) 777-3371 or(303) 906-8096 <br /> June 19,2019 <br /> Division of Reclamation,Mining and Safety <br /> 1313 Sherman Street <br /> Room 215 <br /> Denver,CO 80203 <br /> RE: Partial Release Request for Coal Creek Resources <br /> Permit:M-1988-044 <br /> Dear Sirs: <br /> Enclosed are two copies of a request for release of 32 acres of reclaimed land at this operation in Arapahoe <br /> County.The land was planted in 2014 and seems to now be ready for release. It has been a bit slower to <br /> develop than is usually the case for this site due to a couple of very unfavorable growing seasons,but with the <br /> additional time a vegetation cover highly comparable to other areas that were released in the past has been <br /> achieved. It was planted with a seed mix like the other sites and has developed a cover that is similar in <br /> composition to the more natural vegetation at the Lowry Range,just like the others. There is little reason to <br /> think it will not continue to develop toward a growth that is highly similar to the native vegetation. <br /> This is the last of the older reclaimed areas at this operation. As the operation is now closed all that is left is to <br /> reclaim the final disturbances. So,at this time there is no other affected land that has been planted and no land <br /> is currently ready to be planted. It shouldn't be very long though before the current backfilling,grading,and <br /> topsoiling are completed in the working pit and it can be planted. Then there will only be the processing site <br /> to finish. <br /> Please let us know when you wish to inspect the reclamation and somebody will meet you and go over the <br /> area with you. <br /> Thank you for your consideration. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> llw� <br /> Mark A.
