Farrell <br />Reclamation Specialist <br />Mined Land Reclamation <br />1313 Sherman St., Rm. 423 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />• iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii <br />Re: Animas Aggregates, Inc. -- Alexander Pit Amendment <br />File No. M-76-032 <br />Dear Ms. Farrell: <br />This letter is offered in response to your recent correspondence <br />regarding the above cited application amendment. The following information <br />is presented on a point-by-point basis in the order of the inquiries given. <br />Introduction <br />Attached are proof of publication and proof of mailing the required <br />notices. <br />Exhibit D - Mining Plan <br />lA. The rejected rock piles to be removed are loose, unconsolidated <br />and piled on the low terrace described in the application. The texture and <br />differences in compaction of the underlying ground will help establish the <br />base of the pile. The photographs included in the application amendment <br />should help illustrate the apparent differences. However, since the <br />underlying material is in other ways similar to to the tailings (eg. lack <br />of soil and vegetation, generally coarse alluvium) end because the surface <br />will the be reclaimed by smooth grading, disturbance which may locally <br />occur to the underlying material may certainly be considered <br />inconsequential. <br />1B. As stated in Exhibit D of the application, no activity will take <br />place in the stream. There are thus no plans to mine or disturb the <br />channel. <br />2A. A U.S.G.S, recording station was located about one mile upstream <br />(on the San Miguel) during the water years of 1959-1965. The data from <br />that station is the only specific discharge information available and is <br />given as follows for the months in which the crossing may be made: <br />I ' I (~ tiuuth Perk llri~ c.:~Ltnumcnt, Culur~d~~ R01 ~? t i0~ ~ tHt{ ?'h~) <br />
