D t. of katura~ AetourCes I Re: Summit Pressed Brick Company - "Edmundson Clay Mine File No. M-85-203, Pueblo County ~ Dear Camille: Attached are copies of the Notice of Approval of SpecialUse Permit No. 573 by the Pueblo County Planning Commission ¢n December 10, 1985 and a receipt from the County Clerk 6 ecorder that a copy of the application had been received. I will address the items in your letter of December 11, 985 as you presented them. Exhibit B - Mining Plan A. Will subsoil be salvaged? The third paragraph of the Mining Plan states: "The cla deposit ranges from 4' to 12' in thickness and is overlain by sa dstone caprock ranging in depth from 3' to 6'. The caprock ove burden will either be ripped or shot and then dozed to the pit Perim ters. Topsoil is virtually non-existent on the caprock except or occasional pockets which will be segregated and stockpiled for repl cement in reclamation." The subsoil as such is sandstone caprock ather than any type of soil. B. Segregate b stockpile separately from topsoil. Ass ted in the application, it will be dozed to the perimeter and stock iled separately from any salvageable topsoil. The Reclamation Plan, Exh it E, states "The caprock after it is ripped and/or shot, plus dozer vement over it, will be broken down into comparatively small sizes a ancing reclamation." The attached photos show the existing cut with the clay dy and caprock cover. The closeup of the caprock shows the abse a of any normm3_subsoil as well as the sparse to non-existent tops il. The surface area picture is typical of the site with caprock utcropping on the surface which makes preservation of the sparse top oil quite difficult.
