Mr. Leo Large <br />WeAem Fuels-Colorado Montrose County Commissioner <br />P.O. Box 628 P.O. Box 1289 <br />Nucla, Colorado 81424 Montrose, Colorado 81402 <br />Telephone 970/864.2165 <br />fax 9701864-2168 RE: VEGETATION REFERENCE AREA LOCATE WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE <br />MONTROSE COUNTY AIRPORT LOCATED IN NUCLA COLORADO. <br />Dear Leo: <br />Western Fuels-Colorado, New Horizon Mine is requesting permission from Montrose County to use <br />a tract of land located within the Nucla Airport fence line of approximately four (4) acres in size, for <br />a vegetation reference area. The Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology requires all surface <br />mines to have vegetation reference areas to gauge the reclamation success on mined lands. WFC <br />has scouted the surrounding area of Nucla and have found a parcel of land on the western limits of <br />the airport property that has similar vegetation cover and density as we are reclaiming. What makes <br />this parcel even more attractive is the vegetation diversity, maturity and cover density. The vegetation <br />is also protected from domestic livestock grazing. A very rare event in this are. WFC is asking for <br />permission to enter the property; with proper notification, and performing the necessary study. Each <br />study would take approximately two days, and would not effector damage the vegetation. WFC has <br />no intension of building any structures at this site but would like to reserve the right to construct a <br />simple protective barb wire fence around the designated study area if the airport management ever <br />decides to graze the area with domestic livestock. <br />If you agree with our request, please sign and date on the line below so both of us will have a record <br />of this correspondence.. I might add, that WFC must also get permission from the Division of <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />(Revised 1-15-03) 2.05.4(2)(e)-50
