De{Jf. Ot :~'BiUi 1i ii0S0UfCCS <br />Denver, CO. <br />Dear Mr. Mount, <br />The adequacy questions will be addressed from our Reclamation Permit, The Soil <br />Conservation Service, and the photographs in the permit. <br />Exhibit E Reclamation Plan <br />1. If you will notice from the photographs of the pit area, most of <br />the sparse vegetation is growing in soil that has fallen and washed <br />into the pit from above. The gray area in the pit has very little <br />vegetation, in fact the floor of the pit is solid rock. <br />We will not have a waste product from the limestone, therefore xe <br />will not have any fines of limestone to spread on the existing pit. <br />However, we feel by cleaning up the soil that has fallen ir1 the <br />pit and the soil that has washed into the mine we will have 25 to <br />a 75 ton of soil to spread on the pit area. The soil will be stacked <br />in the west end of the pit. <br />2. We will fertilize by using several ton of manure. <br />3. On page 24 of the Reclamation Permit Exhibit D Part 1- Grass Seeding <br />Planned. Jack Warren the district conservationist said no fertilizer- <br />no weed control and no mulch. And seed should be pure live seed <br />when broadcasted. However, the seed can be drilled in the pit as <br />well as the road area. If the Reclamation Board would like the seed <br />to be drilled we will drill it. <br />4. We will use about 10,000 lbs. per acre of straw and it will be <br />applied manually. As for the anchor, if we plant the seed in Oct., <br />the snow cover will pack the straw and the pit is flat. The wind <br />does not blow hard in the pit so we feel we do not need a anchor <br />in the pit. The road is on a 15 percent and we will use straw and <br />a synthetic netting so straw will not blow or wash away. <br />General <br />1.
