Dept. of Nat I~~(~~~zo, <br />2635 DELTA DRIVE COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO 80910 P <br />CHRISTIAN PIT #2 <br />RESPONSES TO RULE 2.41: <br />Rule 2.41(1): Location and numbers of acres affected during that year. <br />It is difficult to identify the precise areas operated during any particular year. <br />The annual mining area is small and is dispersed along a rather lengthy working face. <br />It was originally planned to work about 3 acres per year for a total of about 53 acres <br />of mined land. Of that, 9 acres is left to be mined. Therefore, it appears the <br />operation has consumed the mining acreage at a rate reasonably close to the rate originally <br />predicted. <br />As noted in the introduction land has been stripped outside the 1976 permit area to the <br />north of the working face. Also, an area of 12.1 acres has been redisturbed south of <br />the southeast corner of the 1976 permit boundary. These areas are shown on the annual <br />report map. <br />Rule 2.41(2): Locations and number of acres reclaimed for that year. <br />No area has been reclaimed in 1982. <br />Rule 2.41(3): The location and number of acres in various stages of reclamation (back- <br />filled, graded, topsoil replaced, revegetated). <br />Except for that area addressed in the previous section no other land has been graded, <br />topsoiled, or seeded. On the west side of the operation is the topsoil stockpile. It <br />occupies an area of 4 acres. <br />Rule 2.41(4): The species of vegetation planted, the locations and approximate dates <br />of planting. <br />In 1979, 45.9 acres were seeded by Randall and slake. This is the only seeding that <br />has occurred since the 1976 permit was approved. The attached letter from Arkansas <br />Valley Seeds, Inc, to Randall and Blake shows what was seeded and the seed analysis <br />show the quality of the seed. <br />Rule 2.41(5): The type and approximate quantity of fertilizer, organic material, <br />or soil conditioners used and location of use. <br /> <br />APR 0 41983 <br />MINED LAND RECLdMATION <br />Colo.
