Ms. Erica Crosby, Division of Minerals and Geology <br />April 8, 2005 <br />Page 4 of 5 <br />~~ <br />CIVIL RES'sJURCES,LLC <br />In your previous adequacy review letter you requested the following information for the reclamation cost <br />estimate: <br />to a worst-case scenario, the total area that would require topsoil and seeding 126 acres <br />The volume of material in a maximum of 6,000 LF of slope liner 967,000 CY <br />19. SW TKO will be responsible for reclaiming the well mitigation area when it is no longer needed. The <br />proposed injection well will be reclaimed by removing the pipe, backfilling the area to existing grade, <br />and seeding and mulching with upland seed mix. <br />20. We have revised the Mining Plan Map so that the old phase 4 (western portion of Villano property along <br />Highway 85) will no longer be mined. We believe this area is only back-up floodwater (0 velocity <br />floodwater) from the South Platte River that passes through the existing box culverts under SH 85. We <br />intend to apply for a LOMR-F, as required by FEMA to remove this area from the floodplain. In addition <br />we will be applying for a Flood Hazard Development Permit prior to any stockpiling in the floodplain. <br />Temporary stockpiles are generally allowed within the floodplain, provided they are oriented parallel to <br />flood flow and incorporate breaks that allow flood water to pass. <br />21. The Reclamation Plan Map indicates that final slopes will be 4:1. It also includes a detail of proposed <br />final slopes of the clay liner. The applicant will submit proposed contours in conjunction with the <br />technical revision that contains the construction plans and specifications for the compacted clay liner. <br />22. The applicant will provide the Division a copy of the approved well permit from the Office of the State <br />Engineer prior to exposing groundwater on the site. <br />23. We will respond to Mr. Schreiner's comments in a separate letter. <br />24. The requested information associated with the reclamation cost estimate is attached. <br />25. It is my understanding that an easement is a right to make limited use of another's real property. The <br />easement is recorded on the deed and survives any sale of the property. The Panhandle pipeline <br />easement mns with the property, not with any type of permit application. It is unclear to me how this <br />easement could be "under a different mine name and operator." <br />26. The title work does not indicate that there is a 50' oillgas easement along Highway 85. This was <br />incorrectly stated in the stability analysis and should be deleted from this application. <br />27. We have attached our response to CDOT. <br />28. Please refer to the enclosed Mining Plan Map for the revised setback distances. <br />29. Please refer to note 13 on the Mining Plan Map. <br />
