Boyd, Reclamation Specialist <br />RE: File No. M-88-052 <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 se q, and the Mineral Pules and <br />Regulations of the Mined Land Reclamation Board <br />(1) The application indicates that the total area of affected lands is <br />9.9 acres. There is some questions as to whether or not the "New Road" <br />required for access is included in your proposed permit area/acreage <br />calculations. We must be sure that this mad is included, and that the <br />total area is still less than 10 acres: <br />(2) We suggest you consider salvaging at least one foot of <br />topsoil/overburden for redistribution prior to revegetation. <br />(3) We still have not received the Division of Wildlife <br />evaluation/inspection report referenced in the application. <br />(4) The application fails to indicate the direction mining will proceed, er <br />to specify the maximum anticipated gradient of reclaimed slopes. <br />(5) Reclamation costs have been estimated at approximately S?25.00/acre. <br />Information included in this section is generally based on unit costs <br />for an independent contractor to perform required activities such as <br />backfilling, grading, topsoil application, seeding, mulching, <br />fertilization and labor; for comparable mining operations; these costs <br />generally range between E1,000.00 and E1,500.00 per acre. Please <br />re-evaluate your reclamation cost estimates and notify us if you <br />conclude that revisions to those figures are needed. <br />7331E <br />275 Centennial Building, 13'13 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 60203.2273 Tel.
