Cattany <br />Division Director <br />RE: 2005 ARR Review, Lorencito Canyon Mine, #C-96-084 Natural Resource Trustee <br />Dear Mr. Thompson: <br />The Division of Minerals and Geology has completed review of the 2005 Annual Reclamation <br />Report (ARR) for the Lorencito Canyon Mine, #C-98-084. The ARR map was also included with <br />the report and reviewed accordingly. <br />The acreage values appear accurate when compared to values reported in the 2004 ARR. <br />Information reported is in compliance with the requirements of Rule 2.04.13. One omission was <br />noted. The 2004 ARR included Tables ARR-1 and ARR-2. These tables provide detail <br />regarding reclaimed acreage, topsoil distribution, and seeding plans. The Division requests that <br />these tables be included in each annual reclamation report. Please submit these tables for <br />inclusion into the 2005 ARR. <br />Soil sampling results were noted attached to this years report. Test results indicate that the <br />pond 9 material is suitable for use as subsoil material. Receipts for delivery of certified weed-free <br />straw bales were also included, the use of which is required by the approved reclamation plan, <br />However, the seed mix receipt attached indicates that it was ordered for the Golden Eagle mine <br />and does not reflect the seed mix approved for use at the Lorencito Canyon mine. Rule <br />2.04.13(1 j(e) requires that the plant species planted during the year be reported. Please provide <br />this information for incorporation into the 2005 ARR. <br />Please respond to the above questions as necessary within 30 days of receipt of this <br />letter. We have no further questions at this time. Thank you for your diligence in completing <br />your monitoring and reporting requirements. If you have any questions, please call me. <br />Sincer y/~~`2~~ <br />Kent• Gorham <br />Environmental Protection Specialist II <br />Office of Office of Colorado <br />Mined Land Reclamation Active and Inactive Mines Geological Survey <br />
