• 2.04.12 Prime Farmland Investigation <br />The initial permit application for the Carbon Junction Mine contained a letter dated <br />March 2, 1982, in which Mr. J.P. Pannell, a soils scientists with the U.S. Soil <br />Conservation Service reported that, "None of the map units are on "Alluvial Valley <br />Floors". None of these soils or map units are considered "Prime Farmland". A copy <br />of this letter is on file with CDMG. <br />The revised permit application submitted in 1993 contains Soil Map unit R8-CD, Falfa <br />Clay Loam, 3 to 8% slopes. This unit was not included in the previous SCS negative <br />determination. According to the SCS document entitled: "Classification and <br />Correlation of the Soils of the La Plata County Area, Colorado" the Falfa clay loam, 3 <br />to 8% slopes, is only prime farmland if it is irrigated. There is no existing nor <br />historical irrigation within the permit area. There is no potential for irrigation in the <br />area. Based on this information, CDMG made a negative determination for the <br />presence of prime farmlands within the permit azea (see Proposed Decision and <br />Findings of Compliance for the Carbon Junction Mine C-92-080 [June 25, 1993]). <br />2.04.13 Annual Reclamation Reports <br />• Annual reclamation reports documenting the information currently required in Rule <br />2.04.13 will be submitted to CDMG on or before February IS of the following <br />calendaz year. The annual reclamation report will describe activities within the <br />permitted area for the previous calendar year. <br />• <br />Technical Revision 09 (v 1.0) 418 Revised 3/1998 <br />
