• • iii iiiiiiiiiiiuiii 999 LAFARGE May 5, 2000 REC~iv~® Mr. Alan Sorenson Division of Minerals and Geology 1313 Sherman St, Room 215 Denver, CO 80203 RE: M-2000-034, Loveland Pit Dear Mr. Sorenson: MAY 11 2000 Dit~sion of Minerals & Geology We received several comments regarding reclamation, during the nei;hhorhood meeting required by Larimer County. The neighbors to the north would prefer not to have a lake close to the road. They feel that it would encourage people to use the lakes more. We also meet with the Flatiron Companies on April 19, 2000 to discuss the above application. They own the portion of the property covered by phase 2 and 3 and are concerned with some of the language in the reclamation plan also. In the application, we state that the Flatiron property will be reclaimed as an open-water, unlined reservoir or lowland wildlife habitat; but the grading plans and relnainder of the text emphasizes leaving this area as an open water surface. That is not Flatiron's intention for the property. If at all possible, they would like to limit the water exposed. We would like to re-state that we are asking for several reclamation options for the Flatiron property. 1) Reclaim as an open water surface as shown on Exhibit F -Reclamation Plan. 2) Fill in a portion of the pit and/or drain the pit to one of the existing lakes. There is not enough material on-site to fill in a portion or all of this lake but we would like to keep this open as an option, if the matenal can be unported at a later date. The substitute supply plan was filed with the State Engineers office showing this as an open surface, so we have applied for the worst case scenario. There should not need to be an adjustment in the bond calculation. I discussed my concerns with Carl Mount and he said he thought this may need a technical revision to [he application, but I would need to submit the information to you for a determination. He asked that I attach a copy of the public notice that went into the newspaper and certified mail to all of the neighbors.
