COLOAYO RESPONSES TO OCTOBER 4, 1991 MLRD/PAR <br />1) <br />2) <br />3) <br />4) <br />Proof of Entry onto BLM Lands <br />Response <br />Colowyo has continued to work closely with the BLM to obtain <br />the necessary Right-of-Entry onto BLM lands in Section 21, <br />T3N, R93W. Incidently, the topsoil stockpile location has <br />been changed to Section 17, so the BLM Right-of-Entry permit <br />will consider only the sediment control ditch. The BLM <br />intends to use the environmental document prepared by the MLRD <br />for the Permit Revision to fulfill their environmental <br />analysis and have proposed to issue the Right-of-Entry <br />Authorization concurrent with MLRD's approval of the permit. <br />We agree with the MLRD's proposal for the no action <br />stipulation prior to BLM authorization. <br />Rio Blanco Special Use Permit <br />ResDOnse <br />Rio Blanco County has been contacted regarding the Colowyo <br />Permit Revision. Since we anticipate only construction of a <br />ditch and fence in Rio Blanco County a Special Use Permit will <br />not be required. <br />A copy of the November 29, 1991 correspondence from the county <br />is attached for the Divisions information. <br />AVS Information <br />Response <br />This information was submitted to the Division on October 4, <br />1991. <br />Topsoil Depth for Burnette and Work Loams <br />Response <br />Topsoil removal depth was not lowered. The change in the <br />approximate lower end of the range simply reflects the reality <br />that removal depths are varied and this table provides merely <br />a guide to the depths that could be encountered during mining. <br />During the 13 years of topsoil removal experience at Colowyo, <br />there is nothing to suggest that our initial topsoil handling <br />predictions or the reclamation plan should be altered. <br />4 <br />
