The Pittsburg & Midway Coal Mining 999 P&M Coal P.O. Box 176 The Edna Mine Oak Creek Co 80467 Mr. Jeff Clapton /y/^ 3 1989 6/21/89 Colorado Mined Land Reclamation D4E>;wh4'�1�D NO Room She1313 rman Street �O/y 0/y1S1C7N Denver, Colorado 80203-2273 Dear Mr. Clapton, P&M personell conducted a rill and gulley survey of the West Ridge area on 6/9/89 and 6/12/89. The purpose of this survey was to identify areas needing repair from rill and gulley activity, and to satisfy the requirements of a rill and gulley plan set forth in the mine' s permit. Following are observations made during this survey. Also enclosed is an aerial photo showing locations discussed below. The rill and gulley test plot was walked. No active gulleying was evident and locations where prior rilling had taken place were well vegetated. Additional observations were made that are listed below along with measures P&M intends to take. 1) Minor rills were observed at the southern end of the topsoiled patch lying east of the pond access road in the West Ridge area. P&M intends to repair these areas with vegetation and topsoil mix that will be pulled from the West Ridge crest. This action was taken last year and appears to have worked well at stabilizing other rilled areas. These repaired rills will be reseeded this fall . 2) Some cutting was observed in the non-topsoiled area paralleling the haul road in the West Ridge area. This area has expressed itself as a water coarse in the past. Some dozer work will be performed in this area for smoothing and the area will be seeded this fall . 3) At the time of the survey, routine cleaning was being performed on the West Ridge ditch leading to the sediment pond (NPDES 003) . This work was completed on 6/20/89, Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact me at the Edna Mine.
