t ~-~. <br />WETMORE STAR ROUTE <br />FLORENCE, COLORADO 81226 <br />December 10, 1931 <br />Mr. Li Chen <br />V. P. Mine Planning/Engineering <br />GEC Minerals, Inc. <br />P. 0. Box 225 <br />Florence, Colorado 81226 <br />RE: Reclamation and Reseeding Plan for Southeast Slope <br />Dear Li <br />I would propose on the southeast slope that the two contour furrows <br />that. are present be changed in the following manner: They be conver- <br />ted to a contour level basin with an 8 foot flat bottom with 2 foot <br />high berm on the outside edge or down hill side of the basin. Beginning <br />at the lower basin at the rock spillway for the existing ditch, the <br />level basin will continue nn around the hill and end o-~here it will be <br />feasible to tie in to the soil pile that will eventually be reclaimed. <br />Another level basin will be installed above at the approximate location <br />of the existing water course. The purpose of these two basins are to <br />retain the moisture that falls in the immediate area and prevent <br />excessive erosion problems down the steep hillsides. The bottoms of <br />the basins will be seeded with the recomment.ed mixtures. This area <br />would also be a good area to plant trees with an approximate 40 foot <br />spacing. <br />The remaining areas above and below the level basins could be partially <br />reseeded with a hydro-seeder. It would be very difficult and don- <br />gerous to use machinery on those slopes as they now exist. <br />The time schedule for the above steep slope reclamation will be com- <br />pleted no later than January 25, 1982 weather permitting. <br />Sincerely, <br />cv <br />DAVID L.
