COLORADO 80306 <br />PHONE: (303) 444 2151 <br />October 3, 1983 <br />Mr. Mike Savage <br />Mined Land Reclamation <br />423 Centennial Building <br />1313 Sherman Street <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Dear Mike: <br />i <br />L ..~ _1~.. _ ~. <br />L C f ;, 19~:: <br />Colo. Cepi. of ,:;,._rJ I,c.~;.~ccs <br />The following is Walden Coal Company's response to your inspection <br />reports dated September 1st and September 20, 1983. <br />As noted in Section III "Comments-Compliance" of the second report, <br />Walden Coal Company has removed the silt which accumulated in the north-west <br />corner of ditch C during the heavy August rains. <br />Topsoil stockpile C was seeded during the Fall of 1982. As a result, <br />some grass cover was established on the stockpile this summer, though cover <br />was not adequate to prevent rilling caused by severe storms. The area which <br />was subject to rilling will be stabilized t>y placing hay bales within the rills <br />and staking them into the topsoil. This tE~chnique will disperse runoff flowing <br />through these areas thereby reducing further erosion and rilling. <br />Final grade will be achieved on the eelst dump and part of phase I this <br />fall. Due to equipment downtime, topsoil can not be placed on those areas <br />in time for fall seeding. In order to reduce the hazard of topsoil loss, <br />Walden Coal Company will postpone topsoil placement and revegetation of those <br />areas until the summer/fall of 1984. <br />Walden Coal Company will cut a ditch around the topsoil which was stock- <br />piled on the east dump. Both that stockpile and stockpile A will be seeded <br />this fall with the approved topsoil seedmix. <br />I hope this letter has clarified Walden Coal Company's position on the <br />issues discussed in your inspection reports. If you have any questions, <br />please do not hesitate to call. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~"'~- <br />Ka~Y ~b <br />Resources Manager <br />
