~~(~~ ~~l.P~C PO Baz 42 Fmdee Vr O50g5 • iiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiii • Erica Crosby Division of Minerals and Geology 1313 Sherman Street. Suite 215 Denver CO 80203 Dear Erica, The following responses are made to your letter of February 20, 2001: March 09, 2001 RECEIVED MAR 2 7 2001 Division of Minerals and Geology The notification process in underway. Copies of the certified mail receipts will be mailed to you as soon as they are received. 2. Topsoil piles will be seeded with appropriate perennial grasses, most probably Crested Wheatgrass or something similar. The NRCS will be consulted for their recommendations. Such seed will be broadcast in appropriate quantities. 3. Quarry operations will be kept out of drainage ways, water channels and other sensitive areas, except as provided for in the mining plan and where it is necessary to control sediment from de-watering operations. Once operations cease and reclamation is substantially complete, all sediment control devices will be removed as well. No rubble, overburden or waste material will be discharged over cliffs or down steep slopes where recovery would be difficult. However, ELB Stone will take no responsibility for areas in which such discharges were made pre-law. 4. Please refer to the attached documents from the Colorado Water court for documentation of our rights to use the water from the Buster Big Spring. 5. All necessary permits will be acquired from the Colorado Dept. of Health and the Environment for discharge of surface water from quarry pits. 6. Seed will be applied in PLS/acre as stipulated. 7. ELB Stone Inc. accepts your calculations for estimated reclamation costs of $132,600 as per the document attached to your letter of Feb. 20, 2001. I trust these responses will be adequate. If they are not please let me know. I will be in Colorado through the 14'", but I will be on the Western Slope through next Tuesday. After that I will be back in my Vermont office.
