available for other reclamation tasks. The state liability would also add to the cost for removing the silos because of the adjacent power lines and rail track used by West Elk. The best situation for the Division would be to get ARCO to permit the silos, and the Division to reclaim the disturbance around the silos. This would include cleaning up the coal stockpile area, removing the remains of the truck scale, and re-establishing proper drainage control within and around the site. If ARCO does not wish to permit the site, the Division needs to make a decision as to leaving the silos in place. The Division could remove the conveyor system and just leave the concrete silos. At a later date ARCO may decide to permit the silos in the West Elk Mine. By May 1993 I hope to get all of these issues resolved in order to start the reclamation plan. This work will be preformed with item 2- backfilling subsidence area mentioned above.

The refuse disposal area is located adjacent to the Hotchkiss Landfill, and has yet to be reclaimed. Reclamation will consist of cleaning out the final trench, grading & compacting the top of the refuse pile, respreading stockpiled subsoil & topsoil and seeding the site. Delta County purchased this site in 1988 and wants to utilize the final trench excavation to dispose of asbestos waste. There has been no contact with Delta County Health Department since 1988 regarding this issue. The Divisions initial response to this request was that the open trench would probably have to serve as the disposal area for excess coal, coal waste and demolished structures. All of the waste materials from the previous reclamation work preformed in 1991 was buried on site. The only remaining use by the Division for the open trench would be to dispose of the silo area coal stockpile and the broken concrete and structural steel from the two storage silos. I plan to contact the Delta County Health Department and find out their current plans on the site before we conduct reclamation. We also need to come to some final resolution regarding the storage silos. If the silos need to be demolished, the trench is the optimal place to dispose of the concrete. All of the material could be hauled to the refuse disposal area and graded out over the top of the existing pile prior to covering the waste with subsoil and topsoil. There would be no disposal charge of the concrete if it were disposed of in this matter. It would be ideal to reclaim 3
