Ca.**:iLetti Pit, Permit No. M-1987-164 <br />Topsoil Amendments <br />Dear Mr. Morrissey, <br />COLORADO <br />DIVISION O F <br />MINERALS <br />GEOLOGY <br />0.EC LAM ATION•MININO <br />SAFE TY•SCIf NCE <br />Bill Owens <br />Govemar <br />Russell George <br />Executive DirMOr <br />Ronald W. Cattany <br />Division Director <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />The Division received your letter dated May 31, 2005 regazding the topsoil shortage at the Camilletti Pit, <br />Permit No. M-1987-164. <br />Connell Resources proposes to strip 24" of topsoil from the undisturbed portion of the site <br />(approximately 8.6 acres), and replace 6" over the entire permit area. Soil tests results and <br />recommendations propose amending the soil with 401bs/acre nitrogen and 301bs/acre phosphorus. <br />However, the letter also states that Connell Resources will use 3001bs/acre using 18-46-0 ratio (which <br />converts to 54 Ibs/acre N and 1381bs/acre Phosphorus). Connell Resources will need to clarify this issue. <br />Connell Resources is now required to remove the upper 24" of soil from the 8.6 acres and amend the soil <br />with nitrogen and phosphorus. These two items will need to be incorporated into the Camilletti Pit <br />permit. Please submit the May 31, 2005 letter and attachments as a technical revision to the permit. <br />Please be reminded that to file a technical revision, the operator must submit two copies and an <br />application fee in the amount of $188.00. <br />Please file the technical revision with the Division on or before July 1, 2005. If you have any questions, <br />please do not hesitate to call. <br />S~inc~erely~, <br />Cam"`.'
