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