De <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 pt. of Pla~ul'al F;;,s~~rces <br />Dear David: <br />Please be advised that I have received and reviewed your <br />October 25, 1978 comments relative to Adams County's Minin~c <br />and Reclamation Plan: Debetz Sand and Gravel Pit. After con- <br />ferring with Mr. David Tortorelli - the Adams County Parks <br />Superintendent who will be responsible for implementing the <br />Plan, we concur with, and will effect, most of your recommenda- <br />tions. <br />Although not explicitly mentioned in the report, page B-2 <br />indicates that the overburden is to be removed and stockpiled. <br />That "overburden" will include topsoil, will be segregated and <br />stored on site, and will be stabilized with a seed mixture in <br />accordance with your recommendation. In addition, we have mod- <br />ified our topsoil replacement level from 3-6 inches to 6-12 <br />inches to be in alignment with your suggestion. <br />Relative to the "Reclamation Plan Section," Mr. Tortorelli <br />will conform to the seed mixture recommendations that were pre- <br />sented in your letter. He is planning on utilizing the broad- <br />cast method for seeding. At this time, in accordance with your <br />offer of assistance, we would appreciate receiving a written <br />cost estimate for the proposed seeding regimen, utilizing our <br />total acreage figures and your seed mixture proposals, so that <br />we can modify the revegetation cost estimates for the "Reclam- <br />ation Plan Section." I see no problem in adhering to the re- <br />quired slope depth of 10 feet; that modification, as well as <br />the others that are proposed in this letter, will be reflected <br />in a plan revision. <br />Finally, since augmentation is not required by State law, <br />the Adams County Board of County Commissioners has not required <br />augmentation for pits within the County geographic boundaries. <br />If and when this becomes a requirement, the Board of County <br />Commissioners will comply with any such requisites. <br />
