Van Nostrand: <br />I am in the process of applying for to the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation <br />Board for a "Limited Impact Operation (110) Reclamation Permit". I would <br />appreciate your assistance in developing a plan for reclamation. <br />The property is a 9 acre tract located in the Southwest Quarter of Section 18, <br />Township 37 North, Range 10 East, NMPM, Alamosa County, Colorado. I have <br />enclosed a survey plat of the proposed site and a copy of a portion of the USGS <br />Alamosa Quadrangle map showing the sites relative position to Alamosa and its <br />topography. There are no homes within 800 feet of the site, it is located <br />centrally in the Southwest Quarter of Section 18 (I own the 135 acres <br />surrounding the site). This property is currently rangeland and it is my <br />intention to return it to range land status. Depending upon your <br />recommendations, the excavation depth will be controlled by ground xater <br />elevation. I would assume that the bottom of the pit after replacement of <br />topsoil should be 2 to 3 feet above the ground water. It is my estimate that <br />the depth will be 10 to 12 feet. I will have the site drilled and soil tests <br />run prior to excavation to determine subsurface soil characteristics and ground <br />water elevations. <br />Your assistance in developing a valid reclamation plan that will mitigate any <br />negative impact this operation will have would be appreciated. <br />Sinc~e+r-ely~ <br />Darnel M. Russell <br />enc. <br />
