Frank and Mary Lou Morgan Box 4 Nucla, Co 81424 PCG!Ved - Patty Morgan APR 2 9 2003 Mike Morgan JoEllen Turner:' , Box 346 t; are Nucla, Co. 81424 To: Sandy Brown Division of Reclarnation, Mining; and-Safety 1313 Sherman Street Room 21.5 Denver, Co 80203 Re: Technical Revision No. 51 'Section 2.04.9 Soil Resource redistribution. Information 2.05.4(2) (d) Top Soil . The removal of the topsoil has been good from March I, 2008 until present time Apri125. 2008. Our main concerns and objections! are to the redistribution of the topsoil. The Barx soil is deep 40-60 inches and then some places very deep. Roots are being found 7 to 8 feet. We do not agree with tlie. limitations that are present in all the reading. Lift should be .a MINIMUM of 24 inches and Lift B -should be whatever is left.. Most places say a total of 40 inches other places say 48 inches, ' If the topsoil and subsoil is there, why is there a set figure? We would like all of it returned regardless of depth. Some of vurprime topsoil has already been -removed, -so if it's there, we want -it put back. We do not agree with 2.04.9-27 . Top soil A lift, 12 inches. Where did the 12 inches come from? Everything on that page is 18 inches for non-prime and the for prime 12 inches. This is not acceptable. These are our main concerns and objections. Throughout the reading material, comments were made that determination on farmlands were based on water availability etc. We are going to stand firm on 1 SHARE will do 2 ACRES and we have proven this mathematically and scientifically and we are not going to give in on this matter. The water seems to affect much of these conclusions on other peoples property as well. We have not have time to read thoroughly all of this material that took weeks to prepare and we have only days to object. We may. be sending more information. Thank YOU for your~time.
