Loye, Reclamation Specialist <br />Subject: Inspection Reports <br />Cortez Pit, 76-59 / <br />Dolores River Pit, 77-2 <br />Dear Mr. Loye: <br />Thank you for the inspection report of September 3, 1981, for <br />Cortez, Dolores, Gai, Hamilton, and Butler Pits. <br />Regarding the Cortez Pit, pit faces are most economically <br />shot vertically. This will continue to be our method of <br />operation until the final permanent slope face is reached. <br />{Ve are using the Cortez Pit on a continual basis at the <br />present and do not foresee reclamation shaping in tl~e near <br />future. <br />I must apologize for the tardy Annual Report. Our summer <br />student-employee was handling annual reports and he was <br />evidently unaware of the Cortez Pit. That report and fee <br />will be forthcoming under separate cover. <br />To date we have not expanded the original limits of the pit <br />reported in Mr. C. R. Nofsinger's Mining plan. The skimpy <br />rocky soils salvaged from the original pit stripping is still <br />stockpiled at the north rim of the pit as reported by PAr. <br />Nofsinger (please refer to the enclosed photos). Soils <br />for reclamation will be the residual crusher fines made up <br />of fine sands and silt from the rapidly deterioriating <br />Dakota Sandstone gravels. <br />pN fOUAL OPPO BTUNITY EMPLOY FII" <br />la:. 111C _ Vvl ..c4 y[uuiir, +.. u~y~ ~•-, <br />Encl : S ~~~OX ~6'~g~f L,~ COUNTY ROAD G.
