ANACONDA MlnP:als Company 555 Seventeenth Street Denver, Colorado 80202 Telephone 303 293 4000 June 12, 1985 Ms. Susan Mowr,~ Reclamation Specialist Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Division 1313 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203 Dear Susan: ~~~~~~~~ ~ U N 1 3 1985 MINED LAND RECLAMATION DIVISION West Elk Coal Company (WECC) requests the following minor modifications to the Mt. Gunnison Mining and Reclamation Plan (Permit C-007-80). 1. .As shown on the attached map, WECC is proposing to construct a small parking area adjacent to the fresh water pond. This area, approximately 100 feet by 100 feet in dimension, will be constructed on a previously disturbed area. The area will be graded, covered with a filter fabric to minimize erosion and then covered with a minimum of six inches of gravel. Drainage for this area is to the drainage ditch on the inside of the road to the fresh water pond and on into the main access road drainage ditch which in turn drains into Sedimentation Pond MB #2. Since the area has been previously stripped of topsoil, no topsoil removal is necessary. Reclamation of the parking lot will be done at the time the surface facility area is reclaimed or before, and will be done in accordance with Section 4.4 of the Mt. Gunnison M and R Plan. Reclamation of this area is covered by the present reclamation bond since it is within the current surface facilities area. 2. WECC is proposing to centralize its non-coal refuse disposal. At present there are dumpsters located around the site. Our proposal is to locate two to four dumpsters at the location shown on the attached map and eliminate the dumpsters on the portal bench. This dumpster area, adjacent to the mine's main access road, between the portal bench and the water tank has been previously disturbed and all vegetation and topsoil removed. To access the site, vehicles will enter from the main access road, cross the drainage ditch to the dumpster site. A 24-inch CMP culvert will be installed to maintain drainage in the ditch. Like the parking site, reclamation of the dumpster site will be done at the time the surface facilities area is reclaimed and will be done in accordance with Section 4.4 of the M and R Plan. Reclamation of this area is covered by the current reclamation bond since it is within the current surface facilities area. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
