However, Mr. Roth took ue on a tour of the property to explain the <br />situation and the area to be mined. <br />The area hoe seen attempts at farming in the past. However, the soil was so poor <br />and sandy, crops were a failure. Consequently from a practical viewpoint there was <br />very little beneficial growth on the area. It also appears to have been in the <br />floodplain of the South Platte in the past or until a dike was built adjacent to the <br />river. <br />Negative impacts should be rather minimal and with proper reclamation, it can <br />probably be restored to a reasonable ra.:gelar.3 use. <br />Sin rely, <br />Ddn Bogart <br />Environment Biologist <br />DB/jk <br />cc: File, Moae, Dillinger, Budde <br />DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES, James S.
