Dudash, Joe <br />From: Dudash, Joe <br />Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2006 4:25 PM <br />To: William Bear (E-mail); Basil Bear (E-mail) <br />Cc: Jim Stover (E-mail) <br />Subject: Revised Rules <br />As you know, the Division sent out a letter dated December 1, 2005 that discussed the new and <br />revised rules that became effective November 30, 2005. There are two items in that letter that I need <br />to mention or emphasize. You may already be working on this anyway. <br />Item no. 1 of the letter refers to revised Rule 2.04.13(1)(e). Annual reclamation reports submitted <br />after November 30, 2005, need to have the seed tags, invoices or other comparable documentation <br />for any reclamation done in that year. To emphasize, this applies to any revegetation, whether it is for <br />final reclamation or interim stabilization, including topsoil stockpiles. <br />In item no. 3 of the letter, new Rule 4.15.1 {5) requires certain specific information be included in the <br />weed management plan. If not already in the approved plan, a revised plan needs to be submitted by <br />March 1, 2006. Rule 4.15.1(5) requires, in part, that there be a specific listing of the noxious weeds <br />in question and the procedures for managing each of the weed species. The Division is requesting all <br />operators to develop the revised weed management plan in consultation with the appropriate county <br />Noxious Weed Program. <br />I looked at the weed management plans in the Bowie No. 1, Bowie No. 2 and Bear No. 3 permit <br />applications. The Bowie No. 2 weed management plan is exactly what the Division needs so it <br />doesn't need to be revised. In fact, it can be a model for the other mines. The plans for the Bowie <br />No.1 Mine and the Bear No. 3 Mine need to be revised, however. <br />Further details and a contact person for the Delta County program can be found at the following <br />website: <br />http://www. ag. state. co. us/CSD/Weeds/mapping/counties/Delta. html <br />For Gunnison County, the website is: <br />http://www.ag.state.co. us/CSD/Weeds/mapping/counties/Gunnison. html <br />If you have any questions, please call me or Sandy Brown. Thanks! <br />
