April 22, 1997 <br /> Carl B. Mount <br /> Senior Environmental Protection Specialist <br /> Division of Minerals and Geology <br /> Department of Natural Resources <br /> State of colorado 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br /> Denver, CO 80203 <br /> Dear Mr. Mount: <br /> I am wr`ting to object to the approval of Amendment No. 002, File <br /> No. M-8:.-302 submitted by the Western Mobile Company to change its <br /> reclamation plan for the University of Colorado/Flatiron property <br /> in South Boulder. The original reclamation plan called for 38. 1 <br /> acres of water and now the amendment calls for 4.2 acres of water. <br /> This is a drastic change from a wetlands oriented reclamation plan <br /> which was originally filed at the start of mining in the 1970s to <br /> a development oriented reclamation plan now that the mining is <br /> complete. It should be noted that this property was mistakenly <br /> taken out of the floodplain with the 1988 FEMA map because the berm <br /> was assumed to be a natural feature of the land. The berm was for <br /> mining purposes only and should come down. This is the current <br /> debate with CU/Flatiron, the city, the county and FEMA and studies <br /> on the floodplain are now being conducted. No decisions should be <br /> made to change this reclamation plan until the floodplain studies <br /> have been completed. <br /> I request that a public hearing be held before the Board according <br /> to the provisions of Rule 1. 7.4(2) . <br /> Sincerely., <br /> Ruth Blackmore <br /> 705 S 41st Street <br /> Boulder, CO 80303 <br /> 494-3009 <br />
