~~ ENVIRONMENT, INC. PAGE 3 May 16, 1997 On way to accomplice this if for Siloam Stone to apply for a Special 111 Permit based on the contract they have with Brecken- ridge. This contract cover supplying stone they use to armor and beautify the Blue River corridor as it flows thru town. If this approach is acceptable, we would start the conversion process as soon as possible so we have a permit to supply our other custom- ers with the smaller rock we sell. The questions we have for the Board are: Can we get a Special ill permit for the area where the slab stone is and then convert it to either a Limited Impact (110) or Regular (112) permit later? If the 111 permit is acceptable, have we addressed the Boards Order and the Cease and Desist order and will the remaining $60,000 fine be revoked? AREAS TO BE RECLAIMED These areas are shown on the map with parallel line hatching. As you will note the lines run east-west in two areas; north-south on one; and slanted on the last. We did this for sake of clari- fication in discussion. The east-west hatched areas (2.59 ac. ±) are where Siloam Stone sorted and pelletized the stone it removed from the mining operation. The material was hauled to these sites and piled in rows so the marketable stone could be sepa- rated and placed on pallets for shipping. Review of the site suggests the grasses that were crushed last summer are beginning to return now and if left undisturbed thru the summer will fully recovered without any other actions. Removal of the windrows and pallets will begin when this plan is approved. once the windrows and pallets are removed the areas will be final graded and seeded in the fall with the seed mix approved in the Siloam Mine permit. The north-south hatched area is where Siloam Stone was removing rock from a waste rock pile established prior to the law taking affect. This pile was reduced from nearly 20 feet tall to being level with surrounding area now. By removing this pile Siloam was actually reclaiming a pre-law disturbance area. This does not excuse what they did, but their actions were not as destruc- tive as if they were excavating. The open circle on the 2.2 acres area identifies a convenient existing hole that needs to be filled. It is important to remember that this area was in a pre- law disturbance area where there was no topsoil. We also have to shape the nearly vertical south slope of the topsoil pile in this I area. We propose to use part of the west end of this topsoil j pile (approximately 0.61 ac ± block lined) to provide the soil
