Waldron <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Mined Land Reclamation Division <br />1313 Sherman Street, Suite 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203-2273 <br />Dear Mr. Waldron: <br />Re: Adequacy Review - Siloam Stone <br />Pinon Mine, MLR Permit NO. M-97-094 <br />7985 VANCE DRIVE, SUITE 205A <br />ARVADA, COLORADO 80003 <br />303-423-7297 <br />F~ECEIVEC <br />NOV 12 1997 <br />Division or Ntmerals 8 Ueoiogy <br />On behalf of our Client Siloam Stone I will respond to your <br />adequacy review letter of October 31, 1997 in the order presented. <br />Thank you for your comments and compliment. <br />SITE DESCRIPTION <br />The fences were installed by the State Land Board or their <br />lessee prior to Red Creek Ranch acquiring the property. The <br />Siloam Road is owned by Pueblo County and the powerline is <br />owned by San Isabel Electric. All the owners were notified <br />because they are adjoining property owners. We will repair or <br />replace the fence if it is affected by mining. <br />MINING PLAN <br />Concurrent with this 110-permit application we have a <br />112-permit application submitted to the Division that includes <br />the stone yard. Reference to the use of the stone yard was <br />done because I am assuming that permit will eventually be <br />approved. To affirm your review comment we are adding the <br />following sentence to the permit application. "Until the Bedrock <br />Mine #1 is permitted we will keep all material from this 110-permit mine on the <br />6.26 acres t being permitted." Thank you for pointing this out it <br />could have been costly if Siloam Stone had used the area <br />before the Bedrock Mine #1 is approved. <br />RECLAMATION PLAN <br />I have substituted Thickspike Wheatgrass to the proposed seed <br />mix. Thank you for your suggestion. I try to use native <br />species in the mix whenever possible and adding a sod forming <br />grass is desirable, so the mix now reads: <br />
