Walther <br />Executive Director <br />Ronald W. Cottony <br />Acting Division Director <br />•. <br />DMG received your letter dated July 8, 2003 requesting an extension of the decision date for <br />Technical Revision No. 1, due to the illness and hospitalization of Ray Hawkins. Because of these <br />circumstances, DMG will grant an extension of the decision date to July 31, 2003 for completion <br />of Technical Revision No. 1, so the adequacy response must be received by July 28, 2003. <br />Per our previous phone conversations, DMG understands that the change from irrigated pasture to <br />corrals is no longer desired and that the concrete pads are to be removed. Therefore, DMG <br />believes the following is required to complete Technical Revision No. 1. <br />1. Specify what soil amendment is to be used in place of the apple pulp (you indicate is no <br />longer available) and specify what application rate will be used for the amendment. <br />2. Specify the seed mix and application rate to be used (if different from current approved <br />seed mix. <br />3. Specify how irrigation will be applied to the site or specify that irrigation is no longer part <br />of the reclamation plah. If irrigation is not to be conducted, the seed mix will need to be <br />revised to dry land species preferably including shrub seed. <br />4. Submit a map showing final reclaimed appearance, if applicable. Ensure this map meets all <br />requirements specified in the adequacy review letter. <br />If you need additional information, please contact me at the Division of Minerals and Geology, <br />Grand Junction Field Office, 101 South Third Street, Room 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, <br />telephone no. 970-243-636$. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~`~~~~ <br />Steve S.
