Dept. of Natural Resources <br />Reference is made to your letter of May 29, 1984 in which you <br />requested additional information pertaining to West Elk Coal <br />Company's (WECC) technical revision to Permit C-007-80 to redis- <br />turb the "U.S. Steel" laydown area. <br />The information you requested is provided below in the order in <br />which they were discussed and in the revised attachments to the <br />application. <br />Prior sampling of topsoil depth indicates that between 12 and <br />18 inches of suitable topsoil exists in the area proposed to <br />be disturbed. 'All suitable topsoil will be stripped and <br />stockpiled at the southeast corner of the proposed laydown <br />area as shown on Attachment B. One or more topsoil stockpile <br />signs will be posted as appropriate on the pile for proper <br />identification. <br />2. A letter of agreement between WECC and U.S. Steel indicating <br />right-of-entry to the proposed laydown area or a copy of the <br />lease will be provided to you prior to your approval of the <br />revision. <br />3. The Mt. Gunnison 5-year permit boundary in the vicinity of <br />the laydown area has been provided on the revised Attachment <br />B. <br />It is estimated that removal of the outlet structures in the <br />sedimentation pond and backfilling and regrading of the pond <br />and sediment control ditches using a D8 bulldozer will take <br />approximately 10 hours. The additional cost for this work is <br />estimated to be, using current contractor costs, 5850. I <br />have revised the Revegetation Cost Estimate provided in the <br />application to reflect these additional costs. I also took <br />the opportunity to correct an error in the Reve station Cost <br />Estimate. The cost of topsoiling (E850) provide in the <br />estimate was the cost for retopsoiling the entire 5.5 acres <br />of disturbance, not the per acre cost as described in the <br />estimate. <br />ANACONDA Mmenb Comp,ny lu Dlrmon of AIl,nticRrt ~Le1000mR,ny •MCOi000d (,-q) <br />
