Dept. ~•. ~....~, _, .'c~alrces Dear Mr. Schmeiding: I will address my answers to each of your questions with the same number and letter as in your letter of December 18, 1980. 1. Mining Plan A. The underground mine at the Hogback is still in operation. Although there are no accurate records available, I believe the surface operations ceased somewhere in the early SO's. B. The affected area has little to no topsoil due to the steep rocky terrain. Whenever pockets of topsoil that can be saved are encountered, that topsoil will be spread on one or more of the completed terraces in the preceding stage. 2. Reclamation Plan A. The surface drainage will not be affected by the operation. 3. Reclamation Costs A. The rip-rap used for reclamation is a waste material from the mining operations; therefore, there is no additional cost. The waste rock from the mining operation is hard sandstone, of which the larger pieces will be used for rip- rap and the fines will be used for the terraced slope surfaces. 4. Local Government Approval We realize that Douglas County must approve the zoning before the application can be approved. We expect approval in the near future. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Michael G. Leidich Mines Manager MGL/s cc: JLC ~~ BTM Members of: Brick Institute of America, Region 12 L.
