Item C - The actual cost for the <br />seeding mixture for the Soil Conservation Service recommended seed plan is <br />$22 per acre. You have suggested a seeding a cost of $120 per acre, which <br />seems excessive by a factor of five. Item D - If mulching is required, <br />we would concur based on highway department recommendations that it be done <br />at a rate of two tons per acre, but feel that Highway Department data supports <br />a cost of $180 per ton rather than your quoted cost of $215 per ton. This, <br />of course, is also subject to verification and reference. Again, the maximum <br />disturbed acreage at any one time would more appropriately be 30 rather than <br />50. Item E - The Colorado State University Soil Test Laboratories soil test <br />reports recently provided to you indicate that no fertilization would be <br />appropriate for the anticipated use and seed mixture. <br />Impact appreciates your prompt review of this material so that the permit <br />might continue the track in a timely manner toward a March hearing. I will <br />look forward to our discussion of the sticky areas at our conference next week. <br />Cordially, <br />IMPACT, LTD. <br />R.
