Quinn <br />Stone Forge <br />P.O. Box 155 <br />Woodland Park, CO 80866 <br />Re: Adequacy Review, Quinn Quarry, File No. M-91-147 <br />Dear Mr. Quinn: <br />Michael B. Long. <br />Dnision Drteaor <br />The Division has reviewed your reclamation application. Prior to our approval <br />we need to clarify a few issues. Please respond to the following questions <br />and comments by April 20, 1992. <br />1. Your topsoiling plan is somewhat confusing, you state that the <br />topsoil averages 0 to 6 inches with up to six feet in the valley but <br />you only want to replace two inches. We believe that a minimum of <br />four inches will be needed to achieve adequate revegetation. Can you <br />commit to replacing a minimum of four inches of topsoil on the <br />benches and floor of the pit? <br />2. On page 6 paragraph 3(a) it is stated that native grasses will <br />naturally invade the areas where topsoil is reapplied. However, a <br />seed mix is given on page 7. You should commit to utilizing this <br />seed mix on all reclaimed areas. <br />3. If revegetation is done in stages as benches are made, as is stated <br />on page 6, paragraph 3(c) the proposed bond will be adequate. You <br />should take care to do the revegetation as you go, ff this is not <br />done the bond will have to be increased. <br />If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />/~ <br />Gregg RJ Squire y <br />Reclamation Specialist <br />GRS/ern <br />cc: Carl Mount, MLRD <br />- -- - -sT,~TE~F COLORADO <br />111 iiiiilriiiiii r~i r~o ~9 <br />2550E <br />
