Aerial images are provided to reflect a better understanding as to the nature of the <br /> diverse vegetation that either exists or could exist over the affected lands. Since it <br /> is stated that extraction occurs with the cropped lands exclusively, the denuded <br /> lands shown in the aerial image reflect the seasonal absence of crops. Crops may <br /> vary in composition from year to year, so any manifestations as to what kind of <br /> crop, if any; or the state of cover, is somewhat misleading. <br /> Still, while we believe the aerial image satisfies the requirement, it should also be <br /> understood that this submittal is consistent with those submitted to the OMLR since <br /> 1999. We believe your colleague, Peter Hays, can attest to this. <br /> Further, there is ample information in Exhibit I/J - where the native vegetation that <br /> may exist as correlated to area soils is fully manifested in the included Range Site <br /> Descriptions, per SCS/NRCS publications. Further, information is provided that <br /> much of the cottonwood corridors that occupy a majority of the riverine areas have <br /> vegetation that is atypical, since it is highly overgrazed or otherwise disturbed by <br /> natural conditions, sporting a near monoculture of smooth brome or diverse <br /> annuals. <br /> Division Second Adequacy Comment <br /> No additional response is required from RM. <br /> 11) The scale on Exhibit C-1 appears to be incorrect. Please check and revise as <br /> necessary. <br /> Raptor Materials First Adequacy Response <br /> It was off, but so little you could just see a minor shift in the image as the Scale <br /> was remedied. A corrected version at 1" = 400' of the Original Drawing now <br /> in .pdf, is included with this submittal. Please keep in mind that in the translation of <br /> highly complicated drawings produced in Autodesk Civil 3D and Raster Design, <br /> some loss may occur as Adobe attempts to translates the .dwg files of Autodesk, <br /> into usable .pdf files necessary in communicating the OMLR permit to a diverse <br /> agency and public audience. <br /> Then (the scale reflected as indicated at 0.002496): <br /> 11 I Page <br /> Correspondence to the Colorado Office of Mined Land Reclamation—Reply to Rob Zuber,EPS—Adequacy Letters of 24 June and 5 <br /> August 2022;in the matter of the Two Rivers Sand,Gravel and Reservoir Project—M2022-013. <br />
