1994 Ar~riual Report Narrative The Cualdale Gypsum hiine is currcntlY in Temporary Cessation Static (1990). Affected land includes 100 acres Uf active mining zone, highwalls, roadways, reclaimed areas, maintenance yard and crusher site. Approximate 600 of Affected Land is under reclamation o'. varying progression. 1993 reclamation included the seeding and mulching o'f thirteen acres in the North Dump Area. Forty tons of mulch were applied immediately after seeding- This work is a coritir~uance of grass establishment efforts on overburdern dumps graded and seeded in 1990. 1994 reclamation work will be expanded tU not only continue grass establishment work but also 'for necessary maintenance of 40 acres of affected land which is in advanced staged of reclamation. Soil sampling will be performed throughout the site tU develop longer torn fertilizer requirements. Badly needed maintenance on deer protection devices will be performed. Another tan acres of grassland will bU seeded and mulched in areas marked in red on the attached map- Affected Land boundaries that are riot obvious vegetative or disturbance will be identified by Yellow field markers. Although Domtar's present perspective is one of teruporary cessation static, options in the future may include the selling of the equipment and dismantling of the Florenc:: P1anC. Domtar would like to explore the costing of C1USUre criteria to better understand the lung range responsibilities of disturbance on the scale of the Cualdale Pit. I will be working on details of this analysis this surnrner and loot: forward to your involvement. At your convenience, please call me to schedule a site visit with geotechnical support if possible. I will be on site throughout the summer months. ~~!i-~: . KS Klco POBUx 338 CUtUpaxi, CO BlL[3 719-94L-4178
