TRANSIT MIX OF PUEBLO
This letter summarizes the points agreed to by Colorado Parks and Transit Mix of Pueblo
during our inspection of your land recently acquired from Valco, known as the Chain of
Lakes, related to the finalization of the reclamation as required by the Division of
Minerals & Geology. The meeting was conducted at 9:00 AM on July 13, 2004 on site
and attended by yourself and Mike Dowd of Colorado Parks, Berhan I~effelew of the
DMG, Mazk Heiliter, Transit's outside reclamation consultant, and Bill Pope, Pete
Melcher, Mark ICltme and myself, all of Transit.
Transit Mix of Pueblo is requesting full release of its reclamation responsibiliries from
the DMG and once the following items have either been accomplished or have a plan to
accomplish them; Colorado Parks will assist Transit in obtaining this release.
Item. l * Establish all survey points to Colorado State Parks satisfaction.
Item 2 * Eradicate all Russian Olives and Tamarisks on the requested release land,
except for those plants located in the CDOT drainage easement area just
• north of Highway 96 near the west side of the release area. This land was
not disturbed by the mining process and presently incorporates wetlands.
Removal would harm these wetlands as well as destroy a very pleasing
visual area. Furthermore, these species aze bound by the highway as well
as the drainage ditch which will limit their proliferation.
Item 3 * A. Modify the berm on the north side of the CDOT drainage ditch which is
located just north of Highway 96 near the west side of the release area.
Transit will seed the berm after modification and at the best rime to do so.
Item 4 * Remove one power pole at the first Litvak gate and replace it with another
post for the gate.
Item 5 No additional reclamation will be necessary on the road immediately to
the north of the southern most lake at the west end of the release azea.
