Colorado 81601 <br /> (303)945-49i8 <br /> January 21, 1985 RECEIVED <br /> JAN 2 ; <br /> MINED LAND WLAMATION DIVISIOPJ <br /> Mr. Jim Herron, Reclamation Specialist Colo. Dept. of Natural Resources <br /> Mined Land Reclamation Division <br /> 423 Centennial Building <br /> 1313 Sherman Street <br /> Denver, CO 80203 <br /> RE: Gas Well Light Use Road, Huntsman Ridge <br /> Dear Jim: <br /> I am still at a loss as to your concern that the woody plant <br /> density sampling accomplished by Intermountain Soils last <br /> summer may not be adequate for you to approve the permit <br /> technical revision application for the gas well road extension <br /> on Huntsman Ridge. As you know, it wasn't easy to acquire <br /> the soils and vegetation data at 11, 500 feet elevation due <br /> to the adverse road and weather conditions last summer. <br /> The 20 samples taken by Tom Colbert of Intermountain Soils, Inc. <br /> certainly should provide the site specific data needed to add to <br /> that already sampled and described in the original application <br /> baseline inventory for the spruce-fir/parkland vegetation type <br /> (See Section III-H in Volume 6 and maps III-H-1 and III-H-2) . <br /> Enclosed is a memo from Tom Colbert to me on the subject. He <br /> also feels that his sampling was adequate when compared to that <br /> accomplished and accepted in other areas in and outside of Coal <br /> Basin. <br /> Please review Tom' s memorandum, the baseline inventory data for <br /> this type vegetation community supplied in the original permit <br /> application. I believe you will find it more than adequate <br /> when considering that its purpose is to provide a portion of the <br /> baseline data needed for the reclamation plan. <br /> Tom Colbert can be made available for any questions of a technical <br /> nature you may still have on this problem. <br /> I hope we can clear up this question and have the technical <br /> revision approved at an early date. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Geo E. Wear <br /> Director, Special Projects <br /> Enclosure <br />
