PHONE : (303) 444-2151 <br /> December 21, 1979 <br /> Mr. James Schmieding <br /> Reclamation Specialist <br /> Mined Land Reclamation <br /> 723 Centennial Building <br /> 1313 Sherman Street <br /> Denver, Colorado 80203 <br /> RE: Nelson Pit: #74-70 <br /> Dear Jim: <br /> The following comments relate to your December 12 , 1979 letter con- <br /> cerning the Nelson Pit application. <br /> 1. Mining Plan <br /> a. Topsoil on the site ranges from 3" to 12" deep. <br /> Each mining stage will involve stripping immediately <br /> prior to mining. At this time topsoil will be stock- <br /> piled so that it is close to the area on which it will <br /> be spread. <br /> b. There will be no adverse effect on Boulder Creek. <br /> 2 . Reclamation Plan <br /> a. Reclamation will proceed concurrently with mining and <br /> will begin within one year after mining has begun for <br /> each stage. Mining of one stage will be substantially <br /> completed before the next stage is begun. Exact length <br /> of each stage and, therefore, how many acres of land <br /> will be reclaimed will depend on success in bidding jobs. <br /> b. Flatiron will plant 150 riparian trees of 1 inch caliper <br /> in groups on lake banks and islands. Trees will be of the <br /> following species , as available: <br /> Plains Cottonwood <br /> Peach-leaved Willow <br /> Narrowleaf Cottonwood <br /> Coyote Willow <br /> Hawthorn <br /> American Plum <br />
