~ III IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII III III III IIIIIIIIII DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES David H. Getches, Executive Director MINED LAND RECLAMATION DIVISION DAVID C. SHELTO N, Director Richard D. Lamm Governor Mr. Don Rapp 8730 W. Mountain View Lane Littleton, Colorado 80125 Dear Mr. Rapp: January 18, 1984 Re Dickerson Granite Pit File No. M-78-305 The following questions need to be addressed before the January 25-26, 1984 Board meeting. Please have your comments back to the staff as soon as possible. Application: Please address the following sections of the application that were deficient when the original application was submitted. No. 7 - Mineral Owners No. 9 - Type of Mine/Substance No. 14 - Present Land Use No. 15 - Proposed Future Use Exhibit B Staff has calculated the total volume of overburden and topsoil removed to be in excess of 70,000 tons in one year. If this is the case, then this plan falls under a regular permit process and not a Limited Impact operation. Please explain how this permit fits under a Limited Impact application given the present mine plan. Exhibit D - Wildlife Conversations with Mr. Rick Sherman of the Division of Wildlife have confirmed this area as critical Elk and Deer winter range. Therefore, staff will recommend that Formaz and Son agree to the wildlife procedure of notification and termination of operations during these critical winter periods. Exhibit E - Reclamation Plan Staff feels that the introduced species of Crested Wheat Grass, Smooth Brome, and Yellow Sweet Clover are too abundant in the mix, and will dominate the site to the exclusion of the natives. Therefore, please reduce these species to below 10% in the mix on a seeds per square foot basis, and increase the native species accordingly. 423 Centennial Building, 1313 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203 Tel.
