Page 2 Response to 5-28-2003 Adequacy Review June 20, 2003 <br />2. Some concrete storage bins and pads have been poured on the north side of the area <br />proposed for release. Please include these features in the reclamation plan, describe <br />their function and how they support the revised residential post-mining land use for <br />this small percentage of the permit. <br />Operator Response: <br />The concrete bins and pads that you refer to, were part of a portable scale foundation. <br />The entire scale and associated concrete features that you refer to have been removed <br />from the site. <br />3. The knob located to the west of the residence/shop yard does not appear to be <br />~- -- - - - - - -consistent with that post mining land use. It appears to oe a mined off knob that <br />needs to be reclaimed per the approved reclamation plan Please remove thrs knob <br />from the area to be released or juste it's inclusion in the area designated forpost- <br />mining land use. <br />Ocerator Response• <br />The knob located west of the residence/shop is a specific feature that has been <br />preserved by the land owner, it functions as an elevated portion to the equipment <br />storage yard and is stabilized with pit run gavel. The elevated portion has also been <br />reserved as the elevated future home site for the owner. <br />9. The slope to the east of the residence is not considered to be stabilized until adequate <br />vegetation is established to minimize erosion and weed infestation This area will <br />need to be removed from the area proposed to be released unless adequate vegetation <br />is established there now. <br />Ocerator Response: <br />The slope in question is less than 20 feet behind the residence/shop and literalty <br />constitutes the back yard of the residence. While the slope does not at this time have <br />established grass cover the land owner is performing residenteal landscaping and has <br />planted some trees at this time and has protected the slope with erosion matting that is <br />being incorporated into the landscaping of the back yard slope. <br />S. This technical revision, tfapproved will not result in release ofthe proposed area, it <br />just facilitates it's release. A release request must be submitted per rule 4.16, and <br />approved by DMG, to secure release of the residential portion proposed to be <br />removed from the permit area. <br />Operator Response• <br />The operator is aware of this requirement and will be submitting request for release <br />under separate cover in accordance with the rule. <br />P(1 Bar 781 • 509-1550 tPd • t9eba, CO 81416 • (970) 874 - 5183 <br />
