On page 5 of Exhibit E, the operator states, "...although not part of this proposed reclamation <br />amendment, the lined depression could potentially be used by future landowners as a <br />stockpond." The way this sentence is worded implies that the lined stockpond is not a <br />component of this amendment application. This statement was also noted in the letter from <br />the Office of the State Engineer (OSE) attached to this, letter. Please clarify if the lined <br />stockpond is a component of the revised reclamation plan. <br />4. The compacted clay liner is discussed in the application, but it is uncleaz as to the source of <br />the clay to be used to construct the liner. The reclamation cost estimate iri Exhibit L infers <br />that 36,000 CY of material is necessary to construct the clay liner. Please describe the source <br />of this material and how it will be transported or excavated for liner construction. <br />Office of Office of Colorado <br />Mined Land Reclamation Active and Inactive Mines Geological Survey <br />
