J07/I61~116g <br />Mr. Mel Staats <br />P.O. Dox 10 <br />Nucla, CO. 81424 <br />RE:SEID MIXTURE FOR STAATS "6.73 ACRES OF PRIME FARM" <br />Dear Mr. Staats: <br />A,~ <br />°"~s; ~FA~ ~/CFO <br />o~Of~~e S~99S <br />°ja <br />4 . <br />GQQQ <br />Oy <br />4lestern Fuels-Colorado, LLC, is in the process of placing an additional 0.8 feet <br />of topsoil on 6.73 acres of your land that was designated as prime farmland by <br />Peabody soil scientist. This topsoil was removed prior to mining activities of <br />your land and stockpiled. According to the Colorado Division of Minerals 6 <br />Geology (DMG), WFC is required to replace the same prime farm land soil back <br />onto the land it came from. WPC is corrglying to your request which will also <br />satisfy i7MG stipulation. WFC will also remove any rocks from the newly <br />topsoiled 6.73 acres of land, prior to seeding. <br />WFC will be proposing to DNY', through a Technical Revision to our permit, that <br />the 6.73 acres of land that is being effected by this retopsoil distribution, be <br />returned back to an irrigated alfalfa hay land field. We feel this is all <br />appropriate vegetation for prime farmland. Now, for the question. Would you <br />prefer the land to be reseeded as irrigated alfalfa hay land, or as an irrigated <br />grass pasture? I need to know which type of reseeding you prefer so I can <br />incorporate it into the Technical Revision that I will be sending to DMG. If <br />you would complete the enclosed form stating your preference and returning it to <br />us by the first working day of October, I would appreciate it. I will make the <br />necessary changes in the TR to reflect your choice. If I fail to receive your <br />reply at the specified date, I will presume that you accept our prescribed <br />alfalfa seed mixture and will submit the Technical Revision accordingly. <br />I am available to answer any questions you may have on this or any other <br />subject. I also invite you to inspect the vegetation on your land and the new <br />topsoiled acreage. <br />Since~ely, C / J <br />~/i <br />L.-Ross L.
