McArdle AUG 19 1gg3 <br />Senior Reclamation Specialist <br />Mined Land Reclamation Division fdINEO LAND RcCLAhIAiIpN DIVISIOFI <br />1313 Sherman Street Colo. UeUt. of Nalurai F;esources <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Dear Mr. McArdle: <br />This letter and the enclosed exhibits are in response to the <br />questions and comments that you raised in your letter of <br />August 11, 1983, regarding our Cash mine application. <br />A. Exhibit B - Mining Plan <br />1. Accompanying this letter is an amended map which <br />clearly defines the permit boundaries, including all signifi- <br />cant new roadwork and those portions of the old road that will <br />be abandoned and reclaimed. <br />B. Exhibit E - Reclamation Plan <br />1. In addition to the trees and shrubs, we will plant <br />various acid tolerant native grasses on the field test site. <br />The assistance of the Mined Land Reclamation Division staff in <br />selecting grass species which may help revegetate acid mine <br />dumps will be appreciated. If these field test are success- <br />ful, we will include these grasses in our plans for revegeta- <br />ting the Cash mine dump. <br />2. The use of a buried culvert as part of the final re- <br />clamation plan for the Cash Gulch area has been reconsidered. <br />Instead of a buried culvert, a metal or concrete trough will <br />be used to convey surface runoff water over the existing mine <br />dump that is situated in the bottom of Cash Gulch. <br />3. A grass seed mixture which contains native grass <br />species common to the area will be used rather than the grass <br />seed mixture suggested for revegetating the abandoned portions <br />of the access road. A mixture that contains Slender Wheat- <br />grass, Mountain Muhly, Parry Oat-grass and Thurber Fescue will <br />correspond to the native grasses in the area between the <br />Jonathan mine and the Cash mine. We will mix and plant these <br />grasses according to the Mined Land Reclamation Division <br />staff's recommendation; including any alternative mixtures of <br />,_ native grasses that your staff may find more suitable. <br />
