Thus the entire area will be incorporated <br />into the final re~:laimed ].and, <br />Exhibit D: <br />1. The letter from the Colorado Division of Wildlife is enclosed. <br />2. No drainage water is expected to leave the mined site. As <br />indicated in our application, excavation is to stop above the water <br />table. Surface run-off is virtually non-exist ant because of the <br />permeability of the mine floor. No supplemental water i.s required. <br />Exhibit E: <br />1. The answer i.s yes. Much to my embarrassment, I said it back- <br />wards; I meant 3:1 as you have indicated. <br />2. We agree completely with your suggestion of a 1~ slope away <br />from the foot of- the finislled embankment. We intend to give this <br />site premium treatment because of its value as a future building <br />site. We think that should be an understanding for all proposed <br />reclamation commitments. <br />3. The seeding mixture proposed for this site is exactly the same <br />mixture recoimnended by Mr. Schmieding of your office and Mr. Roper <br />of the SCS Offit:e in Canon City for a very comparable site in the <br />Canon City area also operated by Fremont Paving. Use of this mix- <br />ture was discussed with you i.n August and with the SCS Range Man- <br />agement specialist in November. The excessive seeding rate and <br />added cost is not justified or consistent with previous advice. <br />Ilowever, if this requirement is specificly reyuired by the Board <br />we will comply. <br />4. As indicated in the Mining Plan, a vehicle pattl will be left <br />undisturbed on tw~~ sides of the measured area. We have indicated <br />that only four acres will be mined, however, we wish to allow for <br />a margin of safety in the actual desig~iated boundary along the <br />norti~ boundary. <br />5. As indicated, we plan to use a seed drill designed for grass <br />and would expect to handle fine seed in a separate agitator. <br />Exhibit H: <br />We think a $1500 bond is more than adequate, particularly when <br />we have constantly indicated our intention to prepare the site for <br />future commercial use. When a $2500 bund is typically required <br />to reclaim up r.o 9.9 acres under a limited impact permit, then $1500 <br />for four acres is very generous, especially in the light of our de- <br />tailed costing at essentially worst case prices. Again, we do not <br />want our objections to further delay a favorable review. Thus, we <br />will comply if so ordered upon the specific review of the Board of <br />our reasons as written here-in. <br />S~,~cer.el 1~c"~ <br />I7t9n a~A~ ~ alip/~~~ <br />"APPROVEII" <br />Freront Paving, Inc. <br />~~/~ent <br />
