C-81-008 by Western <br />Fuels-Colorado (WFC) in Nucla, CO. <br />Dear Sirs: <br />I am writing this letter as a formal protest to the application for a Technical Revision to the New <br />Horizon Mine Permit No. C-81-008 Section 2.05.4(2)e. This Technical Revision covers the <br />change in Success Standards in Irrigated pasture from a standard to a reference area. <br />All of the property in question should be reclaimed in as good of condition as it was or better <br />prior to mining. The Morgan property which is a large amount of the land in question should <br />be returned back to irrigated ALFALFA or CROPLAND. These fields have always been some <br />of the best alfalfa and corn fields in the country and should be put back as good or better. <br />To achieve this goal requires the return of good topsoil, irrigation, disking, leveling, rockpicking, <br />fertilizing, and numerous hours of work that has been put into this place to get it to what it is <br />today. There should not be shortcuts and leveling and rockpicking is a must. These fields have <br />always been planted in straight alfalfa and row crops and should be returned as such. These are <br />not irrigated pasture or grasslands and should not be classified as that. These fields need their <br />own classification and put back like they are now and was. <br />Thank you, <br />g6 y- 78'67
