Box 263 Independence, Kansas 67301 Re: Mined Land Reclamation Board Decision Concerning GEC Reclamation Plan; April 26, 1984 Dear Mr. Layton: This letter will confirm my understanding of the Mined Land Reclamation Board's decision today concerning reclamation of the GEC Strip Mine. Piease note that this is only my interpretation. A copy of the Board's decision will be forwarded to you when the minutes of the April meeting are prepared. My notes indicate that the Board voted to continue the hearing until June 28, 1984 subject to a progress report for the Board on May 24, 1984 and the following conditions. 1. GEC has secured a 1977 D-8 bulldozer which is currently located in Magnolia, Arkansas. The necessary arrangements must be made to transport the bulldozer to Colorado and begin backfilling the West Pit no later than May 23, 1984. 2. Concurrent with the backfilling of the West Pit, GEC must conduct a survey of the mine area for the purpose of calculating the final postmining topography and completing a reclamation schedule for the area. The survey must include Stockpiles No. 1 and No. 2 along with the East and West pits. GEC must begin soliciting bids for the survey immediately and have a report of the progress of the survey prepared for the May 24, 1984 Board meeting. The mass balance calculations, a final postmining topography map and a reclamation schedule must be submitted to the Division by June 22, 1984. 3. GEC understands that current obligations require Stockpile No. 1 be reclaimed to the configuration per Map 23 of the permit application. 423 Centennial Building, 1313 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203 Tel.
