Thank you for explaining your position on this topic. <br /> I have discussed this with my supervisor,Michael Cunningham,and we think that the permittee for this site, <br /> Loloff Construction,Inc.,can revise the reclamation plan to remove the requirement for vegetation on the <br /> slopes. This can be accomplished with a Technical Revision to the permit. Some considerations: <br /> • Vegetation should be established on the flat portions of the site,above the slopes,where there is no <br /> road or other hard surface. <br /> • Stability of the slopes must be maintained. Minor rills are acceptable (if they are addressed by <br /> maintenance actions),but greater damage must be avoided to maintain compliance. <br /> If you have any questions,please contact me by telephone at 720-601-2276, or by email at <br /> Rob.zuber@state.co.us. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Robert D.Zuber,P.E. <br /> Environmental Protection Specialist <br /> Copied: J.C.
