Box 158 <br /> Carbondale, Colorado 81623 <br /> Re: Backfilling and Grading Plan for Preparations Plant Area <br /> File No. C-017-81 <br /> Dear Mr. Bowman: <br /> I have completed a review of your response to condition No. 7 to the Coal <br /> Basin Mines Permit which required a backfilling and grading plan for the <br /> preparations plant area. The backfilling and grading plan submitted is <br /> based on the alternate post-mining land use of a ski area. Since the ski <br /> area post-mining land use cannot be approved at present, the Division <br /> cannot approve this plan. <br /> Mid-Continent must submit a plan that conforms with the requirements for <br /> backfilling and grading to the approximate original contour of the pre-mining <br /> surface. I would suggest that you use a pre-mining topo-map as the base map <br /> for the final regraded surface. Several cross-sections showing the existing <br /> and regraded surfaces should also be submitted. From these cross-sections , <br /> estimates of the cut and fill yardages should be calculated. <br /> The original submittal dated December 21, 1983, would be appropriate as an <br /> alternate backfilling and grading plan to be approved at the time when the <br /> alternate post-mining land use of a ski area is approved. <br /> A compliance deadline for submittal of the revised backfilling and grading plan <br /> will be discussed with you during the next inspection. <br /> If you have any questions or comments please call . <br /> Sincerely, <br /> �J Jim Herron <br /> R$clamation Specialist <br /> JH/ph <br /> t <br /> 423 Centennial Building, 1313 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203 Tel.
