Ms. Erica Crosby <br />RE: Jake Kauffman & Son, Inc..Wagner/Kaufjinan Pit #3 Amendment AM-01 <br />January 11, 2006 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />Additionally, hydrologic evaluations of the proposed mining and reclamation activities <br />(evaluation included in amendment submittal materials) suggest that mine dewatering activities <br />and reservoir construction will not negatively affect -water levels at the wildlife area:. Mining <br />related disruptions after dazk and on weekends are also restricted under the current Larimer <br />County special use permit for the Wagner/Kauffman Pit #3. Excavation operations are restricted <br />to day Iight hours, with minimal activity on the weekends, especially during the winter months. <br />Potential impacts tathe wildlife azea have also been reduced by the current extent of mining- and <br />reclamation at the site. hi Phase I of the Wagner/Kauffman Pit #3 operation, the mining phase <br />closest to the wildlife area, mining is complete and it is anticipated that reclamation activities <br />will be completed in the spring of 2006. The reclamation plan for this phase of the operation <br />-' - ' -includes backfilling; grading; and seeding to create pasturela'nd.`Aslllustrated in the airiendinent <br />application materials, the eastern half of the original Phase I azea has already been reclaimed and <br />released by the Division of Minerals and Geology. The western portion of Phase I is currently <br />being backfilled. Having this phase of the operation complete will .significantly decrease <br />potential impacts to the wildlife azea. <br />If you have any questions; please do not hesitate to call me at (303) 452-6611. <br />Sincerely, <br />Appleg~a,~/teaGroup, inc. <br />William Schenderlein, P.E. <br />Project Engineer <br />cc: Mary Kauffman, Jake Kauffman & Son, Inc. <br />__ _ __. __-`-°-~1~i Fite No: 04=1Cs6- - - -- - ° - - - • _ . - ~ - --- -- - - -. ^- <br />C:1D000menls u~d SettinglBil!
