<br />TRAPPER MINING INC. <br />June 18, 1987 <br />DELIVERED <br />Mr. Gregg Squire <br />Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Division <br />423 Centennial Building <br />1313 Sherman Street <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />Dear Gregg: <br />~~ !'~cr i~ c~ ~~ -=ss~ iii' <br />JU~J 1 J 1987 <br />6tECLAMa."~:pw L;iV:StQt~l <br />RE: Construction of livestock ponds on reclaimed lands <br />as specified in TR-29 (1986), File No. C-81-010. <br />In September, 1986, the Division approved a technical revision for livestock <br />pond construction on reclaimed lands at Trapper Mine. To date, seven ponds <br />have been constructed and an additional [en pond locations have been selected <br />with construction scheduled to begin shortly. These ponds have proven to be a <br />valuable wildlife habitat improvement technique on reclaimed lands as well as <br />for future livestock use. In addition, the ponds are able to retain surface <br />runoff from high intensity summer thunderstorms and spring snow melt and are <br />therefore valuable in reducing gullying in reconstructed drainages. <br />This letter is a request to construct more than the ten ponds already approved <br />for 1987. A map will be provided to the Division at the end of the construc- <br />tion season showing the location of the additional ponds. Their exact loca- <br />tion cannot be provided until field reconnaissance for beneficial locations is <br />completed later this summer. As stated in TR-29, all ponds will be checked by <br />the Soil Conservation Service for completeness. <br />Gregg, thanks for your cooperation in this matter. Pleased call if you have <br />any questions. <br />Best regards, <br />y)~~~-. <br />H. Bruce Humphries <br />Sr. Environmental Engineer <br />HBH/jb <br />pc R.L. Fan yo, WDB6T <br />L.W.
