~'~ III IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII • <br />~._ 999 <br />• <br />STATE OF COLORADO <br />Roy Romer, Governor <br />DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES <br />MINED LAND RECLAMATION DIVISION <br />DAVID C. SHELTON, Director <br />DATE: April 1, 1987 <br />T0: Mr. John Dillon, Sandco, Inc. <br />FROM: Patricia C. Martinek, Reclamation Specialist~~~ <br />RE: File No. M-87-044 <br />Adequacy Items <br />The following items must be addressed by the applicant in order to satisfy the <br />applicable requirements of C.R.S. 34-32-101 et seq. 14ineral Rules and <br />Regulations of the Mined Land Reclamation Board- <br />Exhibit C - Mining Plan <br />1. Approximately how much material do you plan to extract each year (in <br />tons or cubic yardsl? We assume that this amount can be annually <br />replenished by the Animas River without chancing the river course, <br />altering the size and shape of the sand bar, and causing upstream or <br />downstream bank erosion. <br />2. Please describe what depth and roughly what shape excavations will be <br />dug on the sand bar. We assume that the nature of these excavations <br />will not cause undue river scouring upstream of your site. <br />3. Please explain how your excavating plans will minimize your impact to <br />the water quality of the Animas P.iver. For example, do you plan to <br />limit your mining to times of low river flow? Would excavations be <br />above the water level? Will equipment be prevented from driving in <br />flowing river water? Wi11 pits be isolated from the main river flow? <br />Exhibit D - Reclamation Plan <br />1. Your plans for reclaiming the site seem to be sufficient. You state <br />that you plan to grade the site back to its original configuration, and <br />that the road will be left intact for the landowners' use. Please <br />affirm that these plans include removal of all mining-related equipment, <br />refuse, and stockpiles, and that grading will include removal of the <br />sediment ponds and ditch. <br />2. We believe that a E2,500.00 financial warranty should be sufficient for <br />this site. <br />cc: Edward Bischoff, Minerals Program Supervisor <br />/bdc <br />8577E <br />423 Centennial Building, 1313 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203-2273 Tel.
