Lochhead <br />Ezecmive Dneaor <br />Michael B. Long <br />Division Diretlor <br />Person(s) Contacted and Affiliation: Mr. Jim Perrkof U.S. B.L.M. contacted me. Kremmling <br />Resources Area. 1116 park Ave. P.O. Box 68. Kremmling. CO 80459 <br />SUMMARY AND RESOLUTION OF INTERACTION: Mr. Perry inquired if the contour <br />furrows at the Pit 1 area of the Marr Mine are planned to be bladed down after vegetation <br />establishment. I told him I believed that they were approved to remain, and fill in with time. <br />He said that BLM has a problem with that. He had understood that they were a part of a <br />"temporary stabilization plan" as per a July 1994 document. BLM would like to see the <br />furrows bladed out after vegetation is reestablished. perhaps after 2-3 years. Then re-seed the <br />strips between the furrows. I asked him about feasibility of blading out this kind of a <br />structure on steep slopes and he thought awide-track dozer would be sufficient to blade <br />these structures out. I discussed with him that the Division would want the furrows to remain <br />until vegetation was established. and this Fall will be the initial seeding of the Pit 1 area. He <br />does not have a problem with furrows as long as they are temporary in nature. He did not <br />provide any technical reasons why they could not remain as permanent. He also stated that <br />he would be willing to allow additional erosion on the slope in lieu of leaving the furrows. I <br />told him [would look into this and how DMG would need to go about getting the operator to <br />hanee these furrows to "temporary". I also told him that it mieht necessitate a letter from <br />him. I will follow up on this. r~ / ,~ it <br />m:\coal\shart\forrns\5720 r <br />Gr.` 'f"Kt S/'i !rr% i~VY; ' C ~ SC°c"JOB-~! <br />
