First, we encourage you to stabilize all exposed topsoil stockpiles this <br />fall by seeding with a temporary seed mix. I have included a copy of the Division's <br />September 15, 1994 inspection report which lists several suggestions for a temporary seed <br />mix. Or, you may consult with a local Soil Conservation Service representative for a <br />recommendation. <br />Second, those portions of the pit which were regraded and retopsoiled in August, 1994 <br />should also be seeded this fall. You have the option to seed those areas with either a <br />temporary seed mix or a permanent seed mix. If you choose a permanent seed mix it should <br />be representative of pastureland vegetation. Please provide us with a list of vegetative <br />species and seed rates to be applied since we do not have a permanent seed mix on record. <br />If your preference for apost-mining land use is a use other than pastureland, such as <br />cropland, rangeland, or wildlife habitat, then please notify us in writing and include an <br />appropriate seed mix to be used. <br />We appreciate your cooperation. Please call me at (303) 866-3567 if you need further <br />assistance. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~~~rt~~L <br />Thomas A.
