When <br />VALCO leased and permitted this property, it had been potholed and messed <br />up for many years prior. This summer's work started development of the pit <br />in a logical, workmanlike manner,• but space was tight. This is the reason <br />you saw equipment parked on topsoil stockpiles. The trench for trash was <br />to keep this trash from blowing all over the area. The trash and oil con- <br />taminated overburden either has been hauled away or will be within the next <br />2 to 3 weeks. <br />The platform or bench for equipment parking will be removed, topsoil reworked <br />and spread aver the area. The Lessor thinks grass looks better and will do <br />his cattle more goood than sagebrush. The area will be reseeded this fall. <br />The pit floor andface will be left far equipment location and extraction <br />in the future. <br />The crushing equipment has already been removed for this season. The asphalt <br />plant will be removed in 2 to 3 weeks. Reseeding of the 3 to 4 acre disturbed <br />area will done shortly before the snow flies. Stockpiles will remain. <br />Now that the pit has been opened in a logic3~1 manner, the operator assures <br />me that they will salvage, segregate and stabilize topsoil stockpiles. eke <br />topsoil area will be flazeed_and_planted-wi-th-the recommended 121tLA Western <br />whea`tg s -' " <br />This should answer the points you raised. If there are other questions, please <br />contact me. <br />Cordially <br />Lloyd V. "Buck" Barnhart <br />VALCO Consultant <br />cc: VALCO/Gunnison Concrete Division <br />
