The topsoil is to be moved of these areas to facilitate <br />mining of the material under those stockpiles. Some of the soil in these piles will be replaced on areas for reclamation and the <br />remainder will be stockpiled for replacement of areas mined out In the future. <br />Kochia is currently covering much of the regraded areas that are to be topsoiled. Montrose county is encouraged to practice <br />weed control on these stands to prevent them from going to seed, if topsoil is to be replaced in the near future. No noxious <br />weeds were noted. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Steve Shuey at the Division of Minerals and Geology, Grand Junction <br />Field Office, 101 South 3rtl Street, Room 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, phone number 970-243-6368. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME Kevin Hunt <br />OPERATOR Montrose Countv <br />STREET 161 South Townsend <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP Montrose.
