Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />303 - 866 -3567 <br />July 4, 2010 <br />RE: Annual report, Bachus Pit, M- 1995 -034. <br />Dear Sirs: <br />Daniel M. Russell <br />Bachus Pit, Inc. <br />9042 South 106 Road <br />Alamosa, Colorado 81101 <br />719 -589 -3302 <br />The attached map shows the condition of the pit. The past 12 months saw considerable <br />material removed from the pit for local construction projects. 1 estimate that as much as 2 <br />acres were disturbed and mined this year. Correspondingly, we have begun reclamation <br />on part of the pit by seeding grass at double the recommended rate and the area was <br />successfully seeded on June 28 4 days before the first rain of the season. The area <br />chosen for reclamation has already experienced a strong resurgence of rabbit brush and is <br />beginning to return to the native vegetation with very little weed problems. <br />I expect to mine less than one half acre this year. <br />• `'l!- "eaffj <br />Daniel M. ussell <br />Enc. — Map and Check <br />
