Stevens <br />Colorado Department of Natural Resources <br />Division of Minerals and Geology Division of Minerals & (3ovidgy <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Dear Sir, <br />The Spring Creek Pit operated by Delta Sand and Gravel, Co. <br />is located on prime farmland soils in Montrose County. <br />These soils are Mesa clay loam and Mesa gravelly clay loam, <br />0 to 2 percent slopes. <br />We would like to recommend changes in the reclamation plan. <br />First, we would rather have the grass seed drilled instead <br />of broadcast. Secondly, the grass seeding mixture should be <br />changed according to the enclosed seeding sheet. According <br />to our information the crested wheatgrasses will have the <br />best chance of success on this dryland site. Thirdly, the <br />reseeding site should be fertilized according to a soil <br />analysis. <br />Also enclosed is a soils description sheet for your <br />reference. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~~ ~`~~ <br />Fred C. Miller <br />President <br /> <br />
