<br />in any significant changes to the approved reclamation plan. The overburden from Phase 2 <br />is planned to fill Phase 1. Mining will later continue southeast according to the sequence <br />shown. <br />(2) The gravel operator has performed no reclamation on the previous 110 permit area or <br />any other area in the pit, however, the extraction of gravel from past gold mining and the <br />stockpiling of fines will allow later reclamation to be very good. Most of the stockpiled <br />wood on the site has been chipped and is also available for reclamation. The gold <br />operation has also not prepared any new reclamation other than backfilling of some <br />previously mined areas, which are only a portion of Phase 1. <br />(3) For the upcoming year, the gravel operator plans to continue mining the northern end <br />of the reserve area by digging deeper, although reserves in the area are nearly mined out. <br />The gold operator plans to begin mining Phase 4 and to complete mining of Phase 1. There <br />is the possibility of additional new disturbance at both operations in the upcoming year <br />but this will involve a change to the post-mining land use, which is being contemplated <br />and will be submitted to the DRMS once the details are worked out. <br />(4) For the upcoming year, the gravel operator plans to salvage substitute topsoil from the <br />settling ponds and stockpile the material. Salvaged substitute soil will then be placed on <br />this area to the extent that it is excavated. The gold operator plans to begin reclamation of <br />Phase 1 and Phase 2 as Phase 3 and 4 are mined. <br />The gold operator will also salvage substitute topsoil from the settling ponds and stockpile <br />this material for reclamation. If grading is complete on Phasel, excavated silt (substitute <br />topsoil) may be placed directly on this area. <br />(5) The current contact for this operation is: <br />Ben Miller <br />Alma Placer Company <br />2040 W. Hamilton Place <br />Sheridan, Colorado 80110 <br />Phone # (303) 761-4770 <br />Enclosed is a check for $550 for the annual fee. <br />Sincerely, <br />Lewicki ?. <br />Lewicki and Associates PLLC <br />cc: Ben Miller <br />Greg <br />Greg
