Pveblo, Colorado West Pit ~~{J'~/1/- ,u Dear Sirs: JJJ o `~~1' (1) 1985 mining was continued in Stage II and into Stage III on ,_y(~\i„_(l"- property west of our plant and on the south side of the railroad track. We mined 8.9 acres. (2) Reclamation continued in Stage I by placing concrete rip rap on the north west bank of the lake and pushing it down into the water. We just about have enough rip rap in this area now. We have just finalized the transaction of purchasing the D.& R., G.W. Railroad right of way. This caill now allow us to drain down the lake in Stage I and start placing, the overburden and top soil on the rip rap so we can get the correct slope. We have planted 50 good sized trees (10' to 15') in Stage I along the south and east banks. We also have 50 more trees that have been dug with a tree spade and balled. They will he planted on the north bank where the rip rap and sloping is being, done now. Our company has just purchased a bull dozer to be used in reclamation work so this will help us to expedite this work. I expect to have all the sloping and tree planting in Stage I done by July and have it ready for fall seeding. 1de have also cut tires and placed them around the trees to protect them from beavers. In Stage II, we are continuing to slope the sides as we mine. 3/~s/~6 ~- .. v~laf0 ~ L ~`(~ ~__ ~ rPViP owe ~~~CSS $. ` 4 ~~ ~n 4/ 7 G ~ ~~ ~ . ~ v/~.,~ O ROCKY FORD LAMgR CANON CITY
