CO. 81924 <br />RE:SEID MIXTURE FOR STARTS "6.73 ACRES OF PRIME FARM" <br />Dear Mr. Staats: <br />R~ <br />G'`/S~ sF~~ ~~~FO <br />ono ~'~e. S,99S <br />'aia. <br />~~~~0 <br />Oy <br />Western 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 & <br />Geology US9G), WFC is required to replace the same prime farm land soil back <br />onto the land it came from. WFC is co~lying to your request which will also <br />satisfy CMG stipulation. WFC will also remove any rocks fran the newly <br />topsoiled 6.73 acr>?s of land, prior to seeding. <br />WFC will be proposing to DMG, 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 an <br />appropriate vegetation for prime farmland. Now, for the question. Would yoil <br />prefer the land to be reseeded as irrigated alfalfa hay land, or as an ir-rigated <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 IxNG. If <br />you would complete the enclosed form stating your preference and retw.'ning it to <br />us by the first working day of October, I would appreciate int. 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 la/ld and the new <br />topsoiled acreage. <br />Sincerely, ,~ %1 <br />Lid r7'/ '~. <br />~..~ROSS L.
