RE: Concerns regarding the Deepe Farm Pit - File No. M-81- 302
and the Turnpike Pit - File No. M-78-064
Dear Dr. Bunin:
As a follow up to inspection reports of July 29 , 1996 which have
been sent to• you, the reports of August 16 , which will be sent
this week, and the concerns you expressed in your letter of July
15 , 1996 addressed to the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board
(MLRB) , I am providing you with the following information. Also,
we have forwarded your letter on to the MLR Board members .
Issue 1 - TOPSOIL AND FUTURE LAND USE
Items 1 (a) (b) (c) (e) (g) (h) (i) (j ) (k)
Response
The Division of Minerals and Geology (The Division) assumes that
your "no commitment to topsoiling" comment refers to the request
for an amendment by the operator received by the Division on May
1, 1989 .
On the second page of the narrative of this submittal the
applicant proposes that "the dry land be topsoiled according to
the amount of topsoil available on site rather than the 6 to 8
inches . " This was not a request for spreading no topsoil but
rather is a commitment to spreading the topsoil which is on the
site. Such a request is in conformance with Rule 3 . 1 . 9 (1) of the
Construction Materials Rules which states "Where it is necessary
to remove overburden in order to mine the construction material ,
topsoil shall be removed and segregated from other spoil .
