Box 9 <br />Limon, CO 80828 <br />719- 775 -2346 <br />July 15, 2011 <br />Mr. Jared Ebert <br />Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203-2273 <br />Re: Permit M -1998 -103 <br />Dear Jared: <br />TRUSTEES <br />Jim Andersen <br />Linda Hawthorne <br />Jack Hendricks <br />Mike Kelly <br />Greg King <br />Paul Metcalf <br />RECEIVED <br />iii 182011 <br />1 Division of Reclamation, <br />Mining & Safety <br />First of all, I would like to thank Michael Cunningham for coming out for a courtesy visit while you <br />were unavailable. During his visit he indicated a couple of items that needed corrective action taken and <br />this response is an attempt to satisfy those recommendations. We did complete the grading <br />improvements as he recommended, as you'll see on the pictures included. These pictures were taken <br />from the northeast corner of the lot. The first two were facing north along the eastern boundary and the <br />third was facing to the west from about 50 feet inside the eastern boundary. <br />We are not seeking closure of the permit area at this time, but had an agreement with a company to <br />complete a portion of the reclamation as a part of the price negotiation process. The visit from your <br />office was requested to assist us with determining compliance with the permit closure plan and <br />Michael' s visit certainly assisted with that determination and I greatly appreciate that. <br />They have completed what we had asked of them and we will continue excavation along the eastern <br />edge at such time the demand for additional supply resurfaces. <br />The soil that was imported was hauled from a feedlot that was closed in- 1999 on the south edge of <br />Limon. We hauled approximately 4320 cubic yards to the pit site to amend and supplement the volume <br />of topsoil that had been stockpiled and redistributed across the surface of the mined area. The native <br />topsoil in the pit area was not only deficient in quantity to meet the required 5 to 12 inches for <br />reclamation, but was also deficient in nutrient quality, thus the need for amending the soil with imported <br />humus. <br />Please let me know if there is more that I need to do at this time. I will be in touch in the future about <br />permanent closure, after the remaining material has been removed. Thanks again for your assistance! <br />Respectfully, <br />Dave Stone, Manager <br />Town of Limon <br />.i le, mac <br />rNS P. prn,- 6 f zq/,, <br />
