Gzpf a ~. ~.ui~l i{CS6LRCCS <br />1313 Sherman Street <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Dear Carol: <br />This letter is in reference to Roger Funston's correspondence dated July 8, <br />1980, which addressed the Division's position on Utah's request for specific <br />area exemptions from sediment control. <br />In reference to the F. pit area as discussed in Wayne Soward's letter of <br />Ftarch 27, 1980, to Dean Massey and in the June 19t1~ correspondence between Mr. <br />Funston and Mr. Zimpfer, runoff from this area has been diverted via a diversion <br />ditch and passes thro~~gh sediment control structures in Johnson and/or No-Name <br />drainages. Therefore, an exemption is no longer required for the area. <br />Based on Roger's reply of July 8th, Utah International will conclude: that <br />small area exemptions have been granted for areas 1, 3, and 5 as identified in <br />the letter sent to Mr. Dean Massey from Afr. lJayne Sowards dated June 3rd, 1980; <br />that area 4, identified in the same letter, will no[ require an exemption and is <br />in compliance with the regulations; and that area 2 requires further evaluation <br />by your staff before a determination can be made. <br />Roger requested the following information Eor area 2 in his correspondence <br />to us of July 8th; the nature of disturbance, erosion hazard, and timetable for <br />reclamation. <br />As of this date, the disturbance in question totals 14.3 acres as reported <br />in Wayne's letter. The disturbance includes about 3 acres on the east side <br />where topsoil was salvaged but were not otherwise disturbed. This area has had <br />the topsoil replaced. Approximately another 2 acres along the west side were <br />mined, recontoured and also have the topsoil replaced on them. Between these <br />two areas are about 9 acres that have been mined and recontoured but have not <br />yet been re topsoiled. This area will be re topsoiled yet this year and seeded to <br />winter wheat. Aland imprinter will be pulled over the surface of the area <br />after seeding to provide a series of small depressions to hold moisture on site <br />and retard erosion. The area will be planted to perennial species in the Fall <br />of 1982. <br />
