<br />Colorado Yampa Coal Company ~ 29588 Routt County Road #27, Oak Creek, CO 80467 • (303) 879-3800 <br />March 31, 1987 <br />Dan Mathews <br />Reclamation Specialist <br />Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Division <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 423 <br />Denver, CO 80203-2273 <br />Dear Mr. Mathews: <br />Re: Minor Revision 87-15. Modifi <br />R~~E~ ~~D <br />/IPR 02 ~g81 <br />RECLgMAT10N pIVIS1pN <br />Colorado Yampa Coal Company is requesting a minor revision to modify <br />the planting methodology of bare-root and containerized stock. CYCC <br />proposes to construct several swaths across a portion of the reclamation in <br />Area 9 & 10 (35.9 Acres, 10/85 seeding) for planting the bare-root stock and <br />the western edge of Area 31 bordering the native aspen stand for <br />containerized aspen. <br />The purpose of the swaths is to reduce grass competition and to provide <br />mixing of the topsail and spoil interface. Such mixing will result in a <br />coarser grained rooting material which will increase water infiltration. <br />The swaths will be approximately eight feet wide and 5 inches deep, and will <br />be ripped to a depth of at least 1.0 feet. Approximately 8.2 percent of the <br />reclaimed 35.9 acre area will support the swaths. <br />Applicable revised pages of both the C-81-071 permit and Permit Renewal <br />text are enclosed. Also, reference to the practice of using a mulch and/or <br />cover crop is no longer appurtenant. Pages 780-132(a), 780-132(b), <br />780-134(c), 780-134(d), and 780-134(e) contain such material and thus should <br />be deleted from the text. These five pages were modified January 11, 1980. <br />Revised pages 780-132, 780-134, and 780-135 are included with this minor <br />revision submittal. <br />If you have questions or require additional information, please do not <br />hesitate to call. <br />Sincerely, <br />Claire Semmer <br />Environmental Specialist <br />CES/de <br />
