The <br />information and discussion below address each comment as it was presented by the Division: <br />1. As per your recommendation, the applicant proposes the following seed mix for <br />AM-Ol of the Wagner/Kauffinan Pit #3. The seed mix is a combination of the seed <br />mix previously approved in TR-O1 and varieties that have been used successfully on <br />adjacent properties owned by the applicant. <br />Vane #PLS/acre <br />Western Wheat Grass, Native 3.5 <br />Russian Wildrye, Swift 3.0 <br />Smooth Brome, Lincoln 2.0 <br />Slender Wheat Grass 2.0 <br />Blue Grama, Butte 1.5 <br />Indian Rice Grass, Rimrock 1.0 <br />Sideoats Grama, Butte 1.0 <br />2. Following reclamation, access roads remaining on-site will, at maximum, be from 15 <br />to 20 feet wide. The widest roads will be found around the perimeter of the proposed <br />reservoirs to allow access for maintenance and repairs. Other less traveled roads on- <br />site, accessing backfilled pastureland azeas, will typically be from 10 to 15 feet wide. <br />Existing roads being used for the mining operation will be narrowed by scarif}'ing the <br />edges, applying topsoil if necessary, and seeding. <br />1499 West 120th Avenue, Suite 200 - (303) 452-6611 • Fax (303) 452-2759 <br />Denver, Colorado 80234-2759 www.applegategroup.com <br />
