The approximately six <br /> acre area to be affected by reclamation activities is located at the most easterly <br /> portion of the Hawks Nest Mine site, north of the North Fork of the Gunnison and <br /> south of the old highway. A limited amount of work may be accomplished north <br /> of the old highway, if funds allow. The anticipated Project Area is located in the <br /> eastern half of Section 11, Township 13 South, Range 90 West, Gunnison <br /> County, Colorado. <br /> The reclamation work to be undertaken, which will be accomplished using coal <br /> severance tax funds which have been made available to the Division, will be <br /> focused on improving the quality, cover and diversity of the vegetative cover at <br /> this area. Reclamation will be conducted in two stages. The first stage will begin <br /> on or about April 24, 2000, and will last for less than one week. Contractors will <br /> haul and stockpile soil and organic materials generated by the Highway 133 <br /> Widening Project. It is anticipated that these materials will be stockpiled adjacent <br /> to, and south of; the old highway. <br /> The second stage of the Project will be accomplished in the fall of 2000. <br /> Reclamation construction is tentatively scheduled to begin the second week of <br /> October, 2000, and will last approximately two weeks. The soil and organic <br /> materials, along with other soil amendments, will be incorporated into the ground_ <br /> Some contouring and drainage control work may also be accomplished. Upon <br /> completion of these activities, revegetation of the area will occur. <br /> i <br />
