UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE <br />SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE <br />301 South Howes, Room 327, Ft. Collins, CO. 80521 <br /> <br />December 8, 1978 <br />Mined Land Reclamation Board <br />~~723, Centennial Building <br />1313 Sherman Street <br />Denver, CO. 80203 <br />Dear Sirs: <br />In referring to your file ~F78-327, I feel that a soil test on the <br />- soil that is laid back over this pit will vary widely from place to place <br />due to the diversity of soils that have been stockpiled for this purpose. <br />I feel that it is reasonable to assume that the general fertility will <br />be low, and that an application of fertilizer to get the new seeding <br />started will be beneficial. I would suggest that a fertilizer contain- <br />ing the following be applied: <br />actual nitrate nitrogen 40~k/acre <br />actual P205 40~k/acre <br />This should be disked into the soil to a depth of two to four inches. <br />Sincerely, <br />Albert Yoxa 1 <br />Soil Conservationist <br />Fort Collins Field Office <br />0 <br />
