SHELTO N, Director January 9, 1486 Mr. Charles R. Steed Steed Finance Company 1310 West Eighth Amarillo, Texas 79101 Re: Colorado Aggregate Company of New Mexico, Inc. 's "Mesita Hill Mine" Amendment, File No. M-77-227, Costilla County Dear Mr. Steed: Your letter opposing the "Mesita Hill Mine" Amendment was received by the Division on January 8, 1986. Please understand the inability of the Division to send you copies of the amendment application (free of charge) due to budgetary constraints. Copies of the application are available for public review in the Division office and the Costilla County Clerk and Recorders office. The amendment submitted by Colorado Aggregate Company of New Mexico, Inc. was a response to the Division's 14ay 2, 1985 Inspection recommendation. The amendment was requested to clarify the original permit maintained by the Division. Maps delineating the permit boundary, affected land boundary, mining boundary, pre-law disturbance, etc., were included. Affected land acreage was actually decreased from that proposed in the original amendment. The revegetation seedmix was improved by including species better adapted to site conditions, and thereby increasing diversity. The bond maintained by the state was increased from $37,800.00 to $142,700.00. The permit boundary acrege was amended to create angular delineation, thereby facilitating identification of lands contained within and without. In effect, the amendment improves the original pe nnit by decreasing the planned affected land acreage, improving the reclamation plan, and increasing the bond maintained by the state. 423 Centennial Building, 1313 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203 Tel.
