Martinek: <br />Lr~closed is the annual report for CF&I Steel Corporation's Canon Dolomite <br />Quarry. CF&I has done extensive reclamation work on inactive areas of the <br />quarry this past year in an effort to reduce the required bonding amount. <br />It is hoped that if the bond amount is reduced, an active operation can be <br />started at the quarry. The quarry may be cperated by Fountain Sand & Gravel <br />Company, a subsidiary of CF&I Steel Corporation. Should this happen an <br />application for succession of operator will be filed with the Division. <br />-ihe current bond covers reclamation of future mini m3 disturbances of <br />approximately 20 acres a~ld active developed areas of apln~oxilrately 12 acres. <br />Current requirements for dolomite at the Pueblo steel mill 'nave been reduced <br />drastically since the original permit application and the approved Amendment <br />!do. 1. Because of the drastically reduced requirements, the expansior. of the <br />quarry anticipated in 1982 will not happen. Stockpiles of dolomite at Pueblo <br />have been sufficient for steel I,roduction since the cessation of operations, <br />al;rroximately 5 years. Continued small scale operation at the quarry will <br />provide adequate dolomite for the steel mill as well as supply. a small market <br />for decorative stone. A small active operation will benefit reclamation of the <br />site by E~r•oducing fines for topsoil substitution as well as allow for continued <br />reclamation of inactive areas. <br />Attached is a revised estimate of the current reclamation -cost, which will <br />cover an active operation of the size anticipated for some years to come. <br />Please submit this revised bonding estimate for approval. <br />1f you have any questions, please call me at 561-7150. <br />Sincerely, <br />CJ~~~ I <br />Joe Bla1s <br />Mininy Engineer <br />
