State of Colorado Dlined Land Reclamation 1313 Sherman Street Denver, CO. 80203 Re: Adequacy Review of Slab Canyon Limestone Quarry Regular Permit Application 77-347 Attn.: Mr. Randy Overton i`ir. Roger Funston Mr. Roger Funston's letter of June 8, 1978 was discussed during his visit to this quarry July 7, 1978. The following should verify inadequacy items discussed, for record purposes. 1. Item 13 on application form - acreage of affected land. Item 13 lists 30 acres as affected land. The actual area outlined in red on the Exhibit C map is about 25 acres to which 5 acres were added to include some access road and working area at the southeast corner. Attached is a copy of this Exhibit C map with the af- fected area (marked in red) revised (8-1-78) to more accurately outline the affected land. The revised out- line of quarry area measures about 28 acres, leaving two acres as ample to cover outside roadways, old crushed material, storage piles, and truck scale area as suggested by Mr. Funston. The 30 acres of designated affected land are expected to provide an 8-12 years supply of limestone. Prior to the end of that period, better maps and information will be available for a life of the mine permit application. 2:. Exhibit D - Mining Plan A. As stated in the Mining Plan and indicated in the attached letter from Glen McCarty, District Soil Conservation Service Conservationist, little, if any, soil can be saved because of the extr~amely rocky surface. Pockets of soil, when encountered in sufficient amounts, will be moved directly to grade depleted areas downhill from areas blzing quarried.
