Mr. Donald A. Rapp -2- Febru ry 29, 1984 <br />2. It 1s not clear to me that this site will provide adequate wa to <br />material for backfiiTtnq to the planned 3:1 reclaimed slopes. If b ckf1111ng <br />is not possible, product will need to be left behind to make up the a sloped <br />pit margins. Please clarify the operator's plans in this regard. <br />1 / 3. I accept your 15-year estimate of the life of the mining oper t1on. In <br />y future, such estimates should appear in the publication, rather tha the vord <br />~\ "indefinite'. <br />Exhibit D <br />1. An examination of the photographs you submitted does Indicate the <br />presence of brush on the site. I presume that the same brush was n ted by the <br />Division of M1ldlife personnel who visited the site; hence, their <br />recommendation. Given the pasture end use, however, it is probably not <br />necessary to create brush piles. <br />Exhibit E <br />1. I have outlined the need for a clearer mining and reclamation plan for <br />hases 3 and 4 under Exhibit B, questions 1 and 2, so I will not ex and upon <br />the point greatly here. I will merely ask one more question. If t ese areas <br />(parts of Phases 3 and 4) are to have the gravel deposit investigat d further, <br />how is that to be done without any disturbance to those areas? <br />Exhibit F <br />1. I have received a reply from Bent County confirming local zon ng. <br />Therefore, this is no longer an issue. <br />xhlbit G <br />1. Mr. D1Rezza's affidavit is acceptable as legal right-to-ente <br />I hope I have clarified my position on the outstanding questions. <br />to meet to discuss these matters further, please call me. <br />Sincerely, <br />"/IIi~tGz- <br />!lark S.
