~1 <br /> <br />• <br />BACKGROUND <br />~II II~II~II~II~I ~I~ <br />sss <br />MESA GRAVEL PIT <br />INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />.MAY 14 192 <br />MINED LAND RECLAMAYION <br />Colo. Dept. of Natural Resources <br />The proposed permit area is approximately 4.5 miles southeast of the town <br />of Hayden, Colorado in Routt County. This application is an expansion of <br />the existing operation. The original Mesa Gravel Pit was permitted in <br />August 1980 as a 9.95 acre tract. The gravel from this pit was and is cur- <br />rently being used for surfacing material on the coal haulage roads at the <br />Seneca II Mine. As shown on Exhibit D-I, Mining Plan, almost half of the <br />existing 9.95 acre permit area is taken up by stockpiles, a sediment pond, <br />and a drainage ditch. The gravel in this pit had more fines in it than origi- <br />nally estimated so consequently more material had to be used for road <br />surfacing. Most of the original permit area has now been mined and thus the <br />reason for this permit submittal. <br />NEW PERMIT APPLICATION AREA <br />This new permit application takes in the existing 9.95 acre tract plus an <br />additional 25.35 acres for a total permit area of 36.3 acres. <br />As shown in the application, Peabody Coal Company has studied all of the <br />environmental disciplines (i.e., soils, vegetation, wildlife, and hydrology) at <br />the Mesa Gravel Pit. The information gained from these studies aided in the <br />development of both an economically and environmentally acceptable mining <br />and reclamation plan. <br />The proposed permit area is currently used for small grain production. The <br />area will be returned to small grain production after mining. <br />Mining operations will be conducted with equipment from the Seneca II <br />Mine. A scraper will remove the topsoil and overburden. Then afront-end <br />• loader will load the gravel into trucks for delivery to the mine. The scrapers <br />will then replace the overburden and topsoil and the area will be revege- <br />tated. The application describes the above operations in detail. <br />- I - ~ Revised May 13, 1982 <br />
