2080 Braun Drive <br /> Golden, Colo. 80401 <br /> September 28 , 1988 <br /> Mr. John Althouse <br /> Coors Energy Company <br /> Keenesburg Mine <br /> Keenesburg , Colo. 80643 <br /> Dear John, <br /> I am submitting the data I collected for the mine reclamation <br /> program at the Keenesburg Mine. The information consists of <br /> individual data sheets for 44 random sample plots on the 1988 <br /> Reference Area, the 1985 and 1986 Reclamation Areas and the <br /> 1987 seeding. <br /> Summaries of the data sheets have been tabulated into seven <br /> tables . I have written a review of the sampling including <br /> some conclusions and recommendations . <br /> Together with the above material I have added a description <br /> of the proceedures I used in the collection process; an <br /> initial plant list of 66 species sighted on the permit area <br /> and reclaimed acreages ; color photographic prints of the 22 <br /> random plots of the Reference Area and 1985 Reclamation Area; <br /> and mounted specimens of 29 plant species from the permit area. <br /> You and Coors Energy Company are to be commended for the good <br /> reclamation you have successfully accomplished. The reclama- <br /> tion deserves added praise in that it was undertaken with <br /> little if any history or precedent of mine land reclamation <br /> on a Deep Sand range site in the Central High Plains of <br /> Eastern Colorado. I predict that you will have continued and <br /> "growing" success in the future. <br /> I was pleased to do this work with you, and will be glad to <br /> help with any questions you may have in connection with <br /> my collected data. <br /> Yours truly , <br /> Tom Eaman <br /> Range Scientist <br /> TKE .e <br />
