Loye <br />Dear Sirs <br />JUL 2~ 19$2 <br />MINED LAND f?ECLAMATIDN <br />Colo. Dept. of Natural Resoerce~ <br />I regret not being able to be present when you made your inspection <br />of our MacKenzie Pit, your file Of 80-224, on July 9, 1982, since I <br />was paving on a State Highway project at Texas Creek, Colorado. <br />I shall go over your observations of importance, referrenced by <br />ntuuber. <br />1. I'm sure I have misstated area C as being reclaimed. What I <br />meant on the annual report was that the mining was completed in that <br />area. The mining we have done so far in [he pit was cleaning up along <br />the property line for two reasons. One, to recover much wasted <br />material which is of very good quality. The produced material in this <br />pit meets state highway specification for grading "E" and "EX" hot <br />bittaninus paving without the addition of hydrated lime for mineral <br />filler or Acra 300 no strip. Either of [hese added materials increases <br />the price of the finished product nearly $2.00 per ton. <br />Secondly, to get roam to work without having to move overburden more <br />than one time. As we strip ahead, we can build our slope in one oper- <br />ation. The overburden is becoming quite heavy in the area we are now <br />working, and the gravel face less due to staying above the water table, <br />but we feel the extra expense of working the operation in this manner <br />is worth doing because of appearance and will make a much more desir- <br />able industrial site when mining and reclamation are completed. The <br />slopes shall be built to the specified 3t1. They are now not quite a <br />2t1. This done purposely, first to alleviate vertical banks for safety <br />sake, and next to leave room to build the slope fran the bottom up for <br />compaction. <br />2. The gullying occurred approximately two weeks ago.
