ANACONDA Minerals Company <br />555 Seventeenth Street <br />Denver, Colorado 80202 <br />Telephone 107 575 4000 <br />• <br />January 10, 1983 <br />Mr. Robert Liddle <br />Reclamation Specialist <br />Mined Land Reclamation Division <br />423 Centennial Building <br />1313 Sherman Street <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Dear Bob: <br /> <br />Reference is made to MLR Inspection Report dated December 8, <br />1982. Part IY of the report entitled Problems Recommendations <br />and Compliance Data stated that West Elk oa ompany must submit <br />a revised sediment control plan for the equipment storage yard <br />(also referred to as the U.S. Steel Lay-down Area) at the Mt. <br />Gunnison Mine. <br />Use of the lay-down area was approved by the CMLRD on <br />• October 16, 1981 as a technical revision to Permit No. C-007-80. <br />The approval allowed West Elk Coal Company to increase the <br />existing permit area by ten acres for use as a temporary lay-down <br />area during construction. The technical revision is hereby <br />incorporated by reference. See attached Figure 3.1.8.b for a <br />description of the lay-down area. During use of the lay-down <br />area, approximately six acres were disturbed. <br />Since construction of Mt. Gunnison has essentially been <br />completed, use of the lay-down area as described in the October <br />16 permit revision is no longer necessary. As such approximately <br />4.5 acres of tke disturbed area was reclaimed in October, 1982. <br />Thus only about 1.5 acres of the original lay-down area as shown <br />in Figure 3.1.8.b remains disturbed and will be used as a parking <br />area. This area has been partially graveled. <br />Sediment control for the area disturbed during the <br />construction phase (and now partialiy reclaimed) must now be re- <br />established since the Highway Department is constructin.y a <br />portion of the new Highway 133 through the area previously used <br />`or sed ir-ent contro 1 . <br />The nev.• sediment control plan will essentially parallel the <br />cr'.ei-a1 plan described in the October 1921 revision, but will ~e <br />GG.cd ap~"~Xim ate ly' .2 C. feet SG,1 t', ..arC.
