Lamm Governor June 7, 1984 Mr. Bettger Bettger Sand and Gravel P.O. Box 771013 Steamboat Springs, Colorado 80417 Re: Amendment to the Bettger Sand and Gravel Pit - File No. 76-51 Dear Mr. Bettger: The Division has reviewed your application for a 9.9 acre amendment to your existing operation referenced above. The Division has the following remaining questions and comments which must be addressed by June 21, 1984, five days prior to the June 27-28, 1984 meeting of the Board. 1. The enclosed memo from Routt County shows only 9.91 acres under the County ~TSpecial Use Permit. However, the total area to be permitted is 25 acres. ~j' Please resolve this discrepancy and provide documentation of the resolution to the Division. 2. Exhibit E of the amendment application should be more specific as to the the seed mix and the methods of revegetation to be used. The Division suggests a more diverse seed mix than that proposed by the Soil Conservation Service. 3. Pursuant to Rule 2.12(6)(a), please provide another reclamation plan map which shows the proposed post-mining topography. 4. In accordance with Rule 2.2(9) please supply the soil types within the amendment area. I was unable to read the SCS map provided in the application. 5. Please revise the reclamation costs taking into account 4.0 acres of backfilling and grading, 10.3 acres of grading and topsoiling, and 15.8 acres of seeding, fertilizing and mulching. Please note that the Soil Conservation Service suggests that the seed be harrowed or raked in. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Division.
