Depi ONCREClAMATIOry Re Technical Revisions Natural Resources Mobile Premix, Inc. Reclamation Pit 2 , Weld County MLRB File No . 77-184 This letter requests approval of three Technical Revisions to correct the current status of the above permit and to improve the reclamation plan. The original application for this pit was prepared in 1977 . After approval and bonding, the anniversary date was set as October 30, 1978. The application included approximately 109± acres of irrigated lands to be excavated and reclaimed to five lakes totaling 94± acres and 15± acres of revegetated land . Excavation of the five lakes was to have started in the south- east corner of the property and progress in a counter-clockwise manner to result in two lakes in the northeast quadrant , one lake in the northwest quadrant and finally , one lake in the southwest quadrant . Excavation began in the southeast part of the affected land according to the plan . For about one year mining proceeded according to plan. Upon completion of excavation in Area 1 , it was decided that it would be preferable to proceed with additional excavation in a clockwise direction . Consequently , mining of Area 2 was started in the southwest quadrant . The county approved the technical revision , but inadvertently, the MLRB was not asked to approve the reversal of the numbering system for the areas to be excavated. Technical Revision 1 Revise Reclamation Plan from five lakes of 94± acres and 15 . 12± acres of revegetated land (which included roads) for passive and active recreational uses to four lakes of 66 . 26± acres and 15. 59± acres for passive and active recreational uses and add 21 . 55± acres for industrial use and 5. 72* acres for roads . There is no change in the total acres of affected land. The water area of the lake complex will be reduced by 27. 74± acres . 1100 RIVERSIDE - FT.
