Ms. Candace Thompson <br /> July 25, 1985 <br /> Page three <br /> A straw mulch at the rate of 3, 000 lbs/acre will be used. <br /> 8. Drill site access - Access from the currently approved <br /> light use road system to the exploration area will be via old coal <br /> exploration drill roads. See map at Enclosure 2. From the <br /> existing road near the drill sites, the vehicle mounted drill <br /> will be driven over the heavy grass, around the large aspen trees <br /> to the sites. For one passing of the vehicle it would make no <br /> sense to clear the vegetation, salvage the topsoil, scrape out a <br /> road, etc. <br /> 9 . Other information needed to demonstrate compliance <br /> with Rule 4 . 21 - None. <br /> The only improvement to the access road that is required is <br /> the placement of two culverts as indicated on the attached map. <br /> The sizing of the culverts is being determined by Mike Ward of <br /> the Gunnison National Forest. <br /> Mid-Continent' s estimate of reclamation costs is $2 ,000 . <br /> This includes the cost of plugging the four holes and revegetating <br /> the small surface areas that may be disturbed. The present <br /> additional bonding capacity of $159, 960 provided by Mid-Continent <br /> will be reduced by $2 , 000, or whatever figure MLRD believes <br /> appropriate. <br /> Request expeditious approval of this exploration plan and <br /> forwarding of a copy to OSM for their approval.
