<br />RE: June 5 Letter from Bradford Janes, File IIM-77-519 <br />Item 113 <br />It is anticipated that topsoil will be reapplied to affected <br />lands to be revegetated at a depth of at least six (6) inches. Exist- <br />ing topsoil stockpiles were reviewed in the field and appear to be <br />sufficient in quantity to provide for at least the six-inch depth <br />stated above. As Phase I progresses there will be little if any <br />additional topsoil to be removed in the mining process. Any such <br />material encountered will be stored in one of the existing topsoil <br />stockpiles for use in the reclamation process. <br />Inadvertently, a part of the soils report from the Soil Conser- <br />vation Service was omitted from the initial application. It is <br />enclosed with this submission and should be included as part of Exhibit I. <br />Item 116 <br />Final delineation and detail of the pond shoreline will be <br />determined as a part of development plan for the post-mining recreation <br />land use. As this final land use will be reviewed upon completion of <br />mining by the Routt County Planning Commission further input from the <br />Division of Wildlife can be obtained at that time to enhance the wild- <br />life and aquatic habitat. <br />Item 118 -- Revised Reclamation Costs <br />MAJOR DISTURBANCE (one acre maximum) includes slope reduction on <br />pond banks and limited active mine area: <br />Backfilling 2500 cu yds @ $ .70/yd $ 1,750.00 <br />Grading 1614 cu yds @ $ .80/yd 1,291.20 <br />Topsoiling 405 cu yds @ $ .65/yd 263.25 <br />Sub-total, Major Disturbance $ 3,304.45 <br />MODERATE DISTURBANCE totals 7.5 acres. 3.0 acres involves park- <br />ing area and access road which will remain after mining operations and <br />not be further reclaimed. An additional 4.5 acres of moderate disturb- <br />ance will be reclaimed as mining progresses. The reclamation costs for <br />
