,~ <br />,~.. <br />4 <br />~i <br /> <br />STATE OF COLORADO <br />DIVISION OF MINERALS AND GEOLOGY <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />1313 Sherman St., Room Z75 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Phone: (303)866-3567 <br />FAX: (303)832-8106 <br />February 23, 1996 <br />To: Harry Ranney <br />From: Janet Binnc <br />Re: Responses I <br />TR-28. <br />~~ <br />DEPARTMENT OF <br />NATURAL <br />RESOURCES <br />Roy Romer <br />Governor <br />lames 5. Lochhead <br />ExecNive Director <br />Michael B. Long <br />Division Direcbr <br />luacy Concerns for New Horizon Mine, C-81-008, <br />I have reviewed Western responses to our adequacy letter dated January <br />11, 1996. Western Fuel's responses were received on February 5, 1996 and February 12, <br />1996. My comments to their responses follow: <br />1) In regards to the elimination of the hedgerow plantings, unless the Division has <br />received comments from the Division of Wildlife regarding the hedgerows, Western <br />Fuels' response is satisfactory. The Division will agree to the elimination of <br />hedgerow plantings. <br />3e) Western Fuels' response is satisfactory. The description of the inclusion of <br />introduced species into the seedmix has been incorporated into the permit text as <br />required by Rule 4.15.2(3). <br />3f) One of the typos referencing E rn s was corrected on page 2.05.4(2)(e)-12. One <br />still remains. This is not a big issue, more of a clean-up the permit item. <br />4b) Western Fuels has chosen to re-establish the irrigated lands to pre-mining acreages <br />instead of changing the post-mining land use on the 14.77 acre the Division's concern <br />originally identified. They did not provide evidence that they have adequate water <br />to re-establish this acreage as irrigated. While I am not overly concerned that they <br />have not explained how much water is available or needed, I am concerned that they <br />may want to change the amount of irrigated land in the future. If they choose to <br />change the acreage of irrigated land in the future, they will still need to make the <br />land-use change demonstration. <br />They have proposed some additional changes on map 2.05.4-4. They are proposing <br />to add two swale areas to the north portion of the Mine 2 area. They are proposing <br />to leave 5.77 acres of facility area untopsoiled vs. 1.12 acres shown in the October <br />5, 1995 version of map 2.05.4-4. An additional 2.29 acres of rangeland at the western <br />perimeter will receive 12 inches of soil instead of subsoil/suitable soil substitute. <br /> <br />
