JoEllen Turner <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety <br />1313 Sherman Street <br />Room 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />RE: Permit Revision No. 7 of New Horizon Permit Number C -81 -008 <br />This is a petition to the objection of Permit Revision Number 7. The Morgan <br />always been one of the nicer and most pm perty bas <br />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 rules and r <br />Morgan should be allowed to be regulations. No portion of the <br />rgan pro <br />Mo already property changed from the prime farmland determination that <br />y approved. Rules and regulations governing this are 2.04.12, a prime farmland <br />Investigation that had to be completed prior to mining. 2.06 The National soils survey <br />handbook <br />had to be used to make that determination and NRCS bad to be contacted. 1.04 The Morgan property was always historically irrigated and cropped, not pasturelands since 1987. 4.25 The <br />soils had to be segregated and <br />Pied until redistribution and were not. The operations for <br />prime farmland are very specific and these decisions had to all be <br />prior to any mining activities. The agreed upon and approved <br />backfitling is being done and to change on the Morgan property is completed and final <br />bye 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 x i <br />the Morgan . , perty to less than the prime farmland that they had prior to mining.
