UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE <br />SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE 701 CaminO Del R10, Durango, CO <br />u z L2~?~1R1_'i J~~~ <br />RUG 2 19x4 ~ <br />:~ _ <br />81301 hCZ 1J1~.. -- <br />• Alan Czar..^.owsky July 30, 1984 <br />Pearless Resources, Inc. <br />% ACZ, INC. <br />P.0. Box 774078 <br />Steamboat Springs, CO 80477 <br />Per your request for mined land reclamation data for the proposed <br />COAL GULCH MINE which is located in the NW,'-, of Section 22, and the <br />NEw of Section 21, Township 35 North, Range 10 West in La Plata <br />County, Colorado, the following information is provided. <br />As I understand the mining plan the above described area will be <br />_ between 10 and 15 acres of disturbed land. It is the intention <br />of the developer to use this area as roadway, stockpile area, equip- <br />ment parking area and the entry point into the underground portals <br />that will be mined in Section 16, Township 35 North, Range 10 West <br />and belonging to the Colorado State Land Board. <br />The disturbed area was previously mined to some extent and no noticable <br />reclamation work was done. The proposed mined land reclamation <br />plan will attempt to reclaim the previously disturbed area as well <br />as the newly disturbed area. <br />• Soils descriptions for the area were previously provided. <br />Present vegetation densities on the site are attached as CO-ECS-2, <br />Range Condition Inventory. It should be noted that plants currently <br />present on the site are not native "climax" species. Most are <br />invader plants that have come onto the site after the last mining <br />operation moved out. <br />Mined land reclamation revegetation data is attached as CO-ECS-S, <br />Planned Grass Seeding. Topsoil removed by the mining operation <br />will be stockpiled and respread after mining to provide a good <br />growth medium. <br />This property, and the adjacent Section 16 State Land Board Land <br />is not considered Prime and/or Unique Farmland. <br />Sincerely, <br />~• <br />C, <br />Dan Lynn <br />District Conservationist <br />O <br />v <br />
