Please commit to reseeding <br />all disturbed areas as described above. <br />The plan outlined in the amendment application for reclamation of <br />the tree pads is adequate. This includes a 6-foot spacing between <br />Ponderosa Pine seedlings set in a diamond pattern. The Division <br />recommends that the tree pads be blasted as soon as possible to <br />allow for the settling of topsoil into the voids and for the <br />further accumulation of fine material for a couple of years prior <br />to planting. The applicant must commit to a 50% survival rate for <br />a period of 3 years before the bond can be released. <br />11. The Division will require the installation of at least one <br />demonstration tree pad on the existing permit before any new areas <br />are disturbed. This can either be in the lower, eastern .slopes of <br />the permit area or near the crest of the mine area. <br />Please call me if you have any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />Gary Curtiss <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />cc:Carl Mount, DMG <br />:West Arapahoe Soil Conservation District <br />:City of Aurora Planning Department <br />M\MIN\GSC\SLAB\adequacy.ltr <br />4 <br />
