Dept. of Natural Resource; <br />A combination of events happened to us during 1980 that has caused a delay <br />in our reclamation plan and an acceleration in our mining plan. <br />As you know from our last annual report and correspondence since then, we <br />have been in negotiation with the Lamar Utilities Board to purchase Parts <br />1 and 2 of Stage 0. We had anticipated these negotiations would have <br />been concluded and the sale consumated by mid 1980. However, they took <br />an unforeseen turn and continued until fall of 1980, at which time t:he <br />Utilities Board decided not to squire this property. This delayed t.1e <br />start of our reclamatione. However, we did begin reclamations in 19:10 <br />with backfilling, sloping, and grading of some areas, including an area <br />that we are not required to reclaim. (See Map) <br />The event that caused us to accelerate our mining plan was the const~:vetion <br />of the new Neoplan USA Bus Plant. This required almost 80,000 tons ~rf <br />sand and gravel to be used as fill material. It was excavated and h~su d <br />scrappers. This material all came from Stage Z, Part 1 of Stages III <br />~Iv), anc'l~V~ which is east of the railroad tracks (See Map). This accel- <br />eration of the mining plan was handled with a technical revision, which <br />was granted, and of which you are aware. <br />Therefore, the following annual report is made in reference to MLRB Rules <br />and Regulations effective July 1978, Sec. 2.40. <br />1) In 1980 there were approxime.tely 2.29 acres mined in Part 1, <br />~tage-D~ad,approximately~8.75:~mined in Stage Z and Part,I of <br />tags 3-4-5•) ~, <br />ROCKY FORD PUEBLO CANON CITY <br />
