The site is located approAmately four miles north of WaLsenburg, Colorado. The attached map <br />indicates the area of interest. No funkier mining is planned for this site and all past mining aetivity has been <br />reclaimed. The reference area was selected a number of years ago and we would like to maintain the area for <br />reference through final bond release which may not occur for another five to seven years. We would not <br />• propose any change in the management of the area, however, the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology <br />would like a letter from you granting Kaiser access to the property as vegetation assessments are required. <br />These assessments would include evaluation of cover, species diversity, shrub density, and forage production. <br />The only disturbance invoh~ed in these assessments would be clipping of several one-half meter plots to obtain <br />forage weights. <br />Should you have quesdoas or if you need additional information concerning this request, please do <br />not hesitate to call meat (303) 859-0930 or Mr. Mike Keegan of Kaiser at (303) 731-5055.
