Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety <br />1313 Sherman Street <br />• Room 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />This is a petition to the objection of Permit Revision Number 7. The Morgan property has <br />always been one of the nicer and most productive farms in this area The Morgan farm has <br />always been historically irrigated and cropped and has been considered as prime farmland. <br />Permit Revision number 6 `Board Ordered" Western Fuels to return all of the Morgan property <br />to prime farmland standards. NRCS has unanimously stated that all of the Morgan property that <br />was mined was Prime Farmland. The Court has entered a Judgement against Western Fuels for <br />violations of the Rules and Regulations governing prime farmland and for Breach of the lease. <br />The Morgan property needs to be restored to the prime farmland standards that it had prior to <br />mining and reclaimed according to prime farmland roles and regulations. No portion of the <br />Morgan property should be allowed to be changed from the prime farmland determination that <br />has already been approved_ Rules and regulations governing this are 204.12, a prime farmland <br />Investigation that had to be completed prior to mining. 2.06 The National soils survey handbook <br />had to be used to make that determination and NRCS had to be contacted. 1.04 The Morgan <br />p .uperty was always historically irrigated and cropped, not pasturelands since 1987. 4.25 The <br />soils had to be segregated and protected until redistn - w on and were not. The operations for <br />prime farmland are very specific and these decisions bad to all be agreed upon and approved <br />prior to any mining activities. The mining on the Morgan property is completed and final <br />backliBing is being done and to change their prime farmland determination for any portion of <br />That property after the fact is inappropriate and is being objected to. The following people have <br />all read this and this is a formal objection to any changes that Pr - 07 presents that changes any of <br />the Morgan property to less than the prime farmland that they had prior to mining.
