To: Ms. Fancher-English <br /> ' Date: July 28, 2021 <br /> Page 9 <br /> 10-foot cut into the existing road. Disturbance to the existing vegetation and roadway <br /> ' would be more harmful than any benefit gained from the regrading. <br /> CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS <br /> Our evaluation of the reclamation (Attachment 4)and existing slopes(Sheet 1) shows that <br /> the Green-Croissant Cell 4 meets the average slope requirements dictated by Rule 3.1.5(7). <br /> The slopes surveyed by King Surveyors as provided(McGill,2021)generally mimic those <br /> from the PLS Survey(Attachmentl),but the interpretations and conclusions drawn by Ms. <br /> McGill that the pit does not comply with Rule 3.1.5(7) are incorrect when considering the <br /> ' Rule's intent and application. Any regrading to the slopes would result in vegetation <br /> disturbance, starting the reclamation clock from zero, potentially removing infrastructure <br /> (road), for no benefit to slope stability or improvement to the postmining land use of <br /> ' wildlife habitat and pasture,whatsoever. <br /> We recommend that LRM complete their vegetation care and maintenance of the site and <br /> request financial assurance release as soon as vegetation establishment is confirmed. We <br /> recommend that visual monitoring of the area continue until released. <br /> ' Sincerely, <br /> Telesto Solutions,Inc. <br /> .l4 <br /> Walter L.Niccoli, PE Colo. #33826 <br /> ' Principal/Senior Engineer <br /> WLN <br /> 20210727 Slope Evaluation DRMS RTC SFE.docx T E L E S T O <br />
