3 of 20 <br />be available and your fields slope downward to the west so you can increase your <br />irrigated acreage in the future <br />We want you to know that your land that is not on the steeper outslopes such as on the <br />north side facing Tuttle Draw, has been retopsoiled, graded smooth and rock picked to <br />allow better more efficient irrigation after reclamation than that which occurred in the <br />pre -mine condition. This includes land that is marked as Dryland. If, you wish to extend <br />the amount of irrigated acreage after WFC receives their reclamation bond back, you <br />surely may. <br />Until the bond is released, WFC must follow DRMS standards. DRAMS will not allow <br />land to be reclaimed as Irrigated Pasture if there is not sufficient water to be <br />economically managed as Irrigated Pasture permanently. This is to ensure that land is <br />returned to a sustainable form. Once Western Fuels returns the land back to the owner, <br />DRMS is out of the picture and then the land owner can do as he wishes to his land. He <br />can keep it the same, increase the irrigated acres, sell the water or whatever he wishes to <br />• do. <br />The changes being made to the reclamation plan for the New Horizon #2 Mine are based <br />on sound engineering and science. These changes are necessary to meet state <br />environmental requirements, and to ensure that Western Fuels can reclaim properly and <br />return the land to the landowners in the most sustainable condition possible. <br />If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact myself; or Greg <br />Lewicki, My number is 970 - 8647910.
