This reclamation is a Wildlife and pasture land <br /> ' under performance standards 3.1.1 and also the decription that LRM used on its reclamation application that <br /> has already been provided to DRMS. We are asking you to reconsider your decision in regards to passing LRM on the <br /> current slope of the lake. We are providing you the information proving that LRM does not meet the states <br /> minimum guidelines stated in rule 3.1.5. #7 where it states"Maximum slopes and slope combinations shall be <br /> 1 compatible with the configuration of surrounding conditions and selected land use. In all cases where a <br /> lake or pond is produced as a portion of the reclamation plan, all slopes, unless otherwise approved by the <br /> Board or Office, shall be no steeper that a ratio of 2:1 (horizontal to vertical ratio). except from 5 feet above to <br /> ' 10 feet below the expected water line where slopes shall be not steeper than 3:1. If a swimming area is proposed <br /> as a portion of the Reclamation Plan, the slope, unless otherwise approved by the Board or Office, shall be <br /> no steeper than 5:1 throughout the area proposed for swimming, and a slope no steeper than 2:1 elsewhere in <br /> the pond." page 43 of mining rules and regulations. <br /> ' The other violations not addressed we provided pictures and in person with both of you should the <br /> several sink holes and actual 5 foot divot on the river from where LRM pumped water from the river to the lake to <br /> fill it in 2018. 1 have given you maps and pictures to show you that these areas where changed from <br /> t excavations, trenches an other disturbances and you ignore the evidence again. Under Surface Reclamation <br /> Page 85 of the rules it states 5.5.2 Specific Requirements (d)"mud pits, excavations, trenches, or <br /> other disturbance shall be backfilled and graded to blend with the surrounding land surface." This has not <br /> been enforced and is being ignored as well and I just do not understand why. <br /> ' I have submitted copies of their reclamation plan where LRM stated they would control weeds and mow and keep a neat <br /> appearance, that has not been enforced either. Can you please explain why they do not have to mow? <br /> ' It has now been confirmed by Jared that no inspection was done in 2017 prior to fill the lake. I filled a <br /> complaint in 2018 in regards to the slope and in fact still no survey was required or inspection completed until <br /> June 26th of 2019. 1 understand the only survey that LRM submitted was 1/2/2019, if I am wrong please <br /> provide me their current survey. They had til July 24th to make the corrections requested on June 24th <br /> inspection. LRM submitted a letter written by Stephanie Francher English stating that they complied and fixed the <br /> eroding slope dated July 17, 2019 and they inspected the slope and had a engineer confirm off of a drawing. We <br /> provided you pictures time stamped and date July 23, 2019 and they were not even half way through with the fix <br /> ' and this was acceptable as well. <br /> We are asking you evaluate all the evidence that we have provided and reconsidered your decisions and include <br /> all violations that are not be performed or completed by LRM according to the Mineral Rules and Regulations of the <br /> ' Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board for the Extraction of Construction materials dated and effective <br /> July 15,2019. There are 29 zones in our exhibit so I will have to send several emails to make sure you get <br /> every picture, my computer will not send a file that is that large. Sorry for any inconvenience. <br /> ' Sincerely <br /> Jamie and Dustin Christensen <br /> 785-230-8400 <br /> ' 970-420-5137 <br /> jam2finance@yahoo.com <br /> ' 5 attachments <br /> — scan.pdf <br /> ' 393K <br /> https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=86aa78d9e6&view=pt&search=all&permmsgid=msg-f%3Al 7O2553656182572250&simpl=msg-f%3Al 7O25536561... 1/2 <br />
