Dept of Natural Resources <br />Dear Ms. Emrich: <br />As you requested the previous winter, the Colorado Yampa Coal <br />Company (CYCC), submitted an overall Topsoiling Plan for the mine. This <br />map included areas to be stripped of topsoil, areas to be backfilled and <br />graded prior (topsoil laydown) to topsoiling, and areas to receive <br />topsoil redistribution from live handle and stockpiles. <br />In order to utilize our equipment in the most efficient manner and <br />facilitate the mine topsoil movement program, CYCC has been concentrating <br />regrading and topsoiling efforts in Areas 7, 10, 31, 51, and mine 3. The <br />concentration of regrading and topsoiling in the above areas expedites <br />the movement of topsoil in stockpiles and stripping areas ahead of the <br />mining progress during good weather. This concentration also causes a <br />delay in grading of the final pit in Areas 9 and 41. Backfilling and <br />grading of the final pit in Area 9 and 41 is scheduled to be completed <br />during the winter of 1984-85. Topsoiling of these areas will be <br />concurrent with the regrade operations, or as weather permits, with the <br />topsoil coming from stockpiles in those areas. <br />If I can be of any information, please call. <br />Sincerely, <br />David McMindes <br />DM/sk <br />cc: G.
