MOFFAT COUNTY <br />ROAD DEPARTMENT <br />December 15, 1995 <br />Michael B. Long e~q~ *k P ~y~-338-38 <br />Division Director <br />Division of Minerals and Geology <br />1313 Sherman Street <br />Denver CO 80203 <br />RE: Possible Violation, Moffat County, Refuge Pit <br />No. M-89--112 <br />Dear Mr. Long: <br />This letter is in response to the allegation of <br />"possible vio]ation" in the above referenced Refuge Pit No. <br />M-89-112 as noted in your certified letter of 12/1/95 and <br />in the enclosed inspection report dated 10/24/95 by Carl Mount <br />and Andy Moore. <br />I will respond to the "Observations" in order: <br />Observ_ation_#1: Moffat County will seed the existing <br />topsoil and overburden stockpiles in the spring of 1996 <br />with our approved seed mix formula; <br />Observation_#2: The materials that barely encroach the boundary <br />line are of little consequence. The entire area surrounding <br />this pit was previously disturbed and never reclaimed. <br />It is Moffat County's policy to reclaim adjoining and <br />prior disturbed areas on BLM to their guidance and <br />satisfaction; <br />Observ_ation_#3: This is a false allegation! In 1989 <br />there existed a network of access roads surrounding this <br />pit. The road to the northeast, east and southeast is shown <br />on the enclosed 1973 aerial photograph. Moffat County <br />did not reestablish this road. We bladed off the weeds <br />for fire control and used it as it existed prior to <br />this permit. (see definition of "affected land" Rule 1 <br />CRS 34-32-103(1) on page #1 of the Mineral Rules and <br />Regulations revised November, 1988) <br />ROAD SUPERVISOR <br />P.0.
