November 10, 1994 <br />NOV 16 1994 <br />Janet H. Binns <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Division of Minerals and Geology <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />Dear Ms. Binns; <br />RECEIVED <br />Division of Minerals & Geology <br />The following items are being provided as clarificatioh/corrections for the originally <br />submitted TR package as referenced above. A revised public notice is enclosed, and <br />reflects the corrected language concerning the amount of disturbance anticipated with <br />the proposed activity. Hole A94 (DDP 94-001) lies within Section 30, and is the <br />single development drilling point being addressed by the proposed TR. <br />As discussed, CEC wishes to correct a few minor errors within the original document <br />submitted, as there was some confusion on the part of the consultant which prepared <br />the submittal. The last page of the submittal indicates that the area proposed for <br />exploration meets the requirements of Rule 2.06.8 due to the area being undeveloped <br />rangeland, no farming activity, and that an insignificant area would be temporarily <br />disturbed. As discussed, the area. proposed is actually a hay meadow area <br />immediately adjacent to some undeveloped rangeland, and has been irrigated and hay- <br />cropped in the past. The activities proposed will impact an insignificant area, and <br />would not interrupt, preclude, or discontinue farming thus satisfying the requirements <br />of Rule 2.06.8 as outlined. As discussed, the planned disturbance would affect less <br />than 0.25 acres of AVF area immediately adjacent to the undisturbed upland area. <br />Two different access routes to the site are proposed. The first utilizes existing two- <br />tracks across CEC property and Axial Basin Ranch property from Round Bottom Road <br />to the northwest. This route would cross some plowed fields (which again have <br />existing two-track roads across them) and come down into the Big Bottom area on the <br />west side of the river. Existing two-tracks would be utilized in the bottom area where- <br />ever possible, with limited travel overland being anticipated to reach the site. <br />
