However, the access road to <br />the pit and around the pit requires additional work. <br />The entrance road off of County Road T was not reclaimed. Because this is not a BLM system <br />road, the road should be ripped or disced and seeded with the same seed mix used in the pit. If <br />we don't reclaim it the public will continue to use that road which may lead to trash dumping <br />and /or destruction of vegetation in the pit. Once reclaimed, BLM will install a sign on the road <br />and no other barrier will be required. <br />It appears as if the road around the pit was disced and seeded, but there is very little vegetation <br />on 75% of that road. This road should be ripped or disced and reseeded. <br />If you have questions. please call met at 9719- 655 -6115. <br />p C k� W E <br />MAR 1 7 2014 <br />DURANGO FIELD OFFICE <br />DIVISION OF RECLAMATION, <br />MINING AND SAFETY <br />Si derely, <br />Andrew Archuleta, Field Manager <br />San Luis Valley Field Office <br />
