Dept. of Nawral Resuurcas <br />May 15, 1984 <br />Mark Loye <br />Senior Reclamation Specialist <br />Mined Land Reclamation Division <br />1313 Sherman St., Room 423 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />Dear Mr. Loye, <br />The following is in response to questions raised in your letter of May 9, 1984. <br />Exhibit D <br />1. It is not anticipated that mining or reclamation operations will threaten <br />County Road 66T. A permanent fence separates the road from the mining op- <br />eration. There is no evidence that activities at the existing pit have <br />resulted in any road damage. County road crews provide routine maintenance <br />on Road 66T and will take any necessary precautions to protect the road. <br />2. The Nash Ditch is a small irrigation ditch approximately 4 to 5 feet wide <br />and 2 feet deep. Adjacent landowner Gary Boyce owns the majority of water <br />rights in the ditch. The ditch will be physically separated from the mining <br />operation by a permanent fence and a 50 - 100 foot buffer zone. Pit walls <br />will be sloped away from the ditch. The depth of the pit near the ditch will <br />be less than 5 feet. No adverse impacts on the ditch are anticipated. The <br />ditch will be monitored, and if seepage is evident as a result of the mining <br />operation, a synthetic liner will be installed. <br />Exhibit E <br />1. These concerns are specifically addressed in Exhibit E, page 1 paragraph 5. <br />2. Specific strategies for revegetation were developed in close coordination with <br />the SCS. The revegetation plan represents the most reasonable and cost effec- <br />tive means of re-establishing vegetative cover given site limitations. The <br />site will be monitored in cooperation with the SCS following initial seeding <br />and re-seeding will be conducted if necessary. In response to your concerns, <br />
