See attached letter of authorization. Following are items addressed in the technical revision <br />along with revised Mining and Reclamation Plan Maps: <br />• Change in access point to Hwy 394. The access to the pit will now share a common access with the <br />Brennise residence. This was required by CDOT. The access road will remain permanent after reclamation. <br />• The access road within the permit boundary at the point where it crosses the wetlands has been changed. <br />This wetland crossing is considered temporary, during mining and reclamation activities, and will be <br />removed during final reclamation. <br />• Wetlands have been identified within the mining footprint. These wetlands will be mined under the <br />Tulloch II Rule. This allows an operator to excavate material within a designated wetlands as long as there <br />is no fill placed within the footprint. This includes removal of topsoil/overburden, stockpiles and topsoil <br />during reclamation. This restriction of fill placement will extend from the existing surface downward to <br />the bottom of excavation. Mining along the perimeter within the wetland footprint will take place at a 3:1 <br />slope. Final reclamation will include seed only as topsoil placement is considered fill and is not allowed. <br />• A 100' distance will be maintained from the cottonwood trees during mining. <br />Enclosed is a check in the amount of $216 for the required Fee. <br />Please contact me at 970-242-5370 or 970-260-9902 if you have any questions.
