Dept. of Natural Resources <br />Ms. Carol Russell <br />Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Division <br />1313 Sherman Street #423 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Re: Notification of Minor Change in the Surface Facilities Area <br />Dear Carol: <br />An on-going problem at the Dorchester #1 Mine has been the handling and disposal of <br />trash and scrap material. Recently, mine personnel made a modification in the <br />trash handling procedure which should be a significant improvement. Although the <br />change was minor, it was felt that MLR should be notified. The change will permit <br />the dumping of trash and scrap material directly into a trailer which will eliminate <br />double handling problems and the unsightly appearance of the former trash area. <br />The modification entails construction of a bench area (approximate dimensions <br />10'x50') adjacent to the Magpie Creek Diversion in the equipment laydown area <br />west of the mine portal area. <br />The location and approximate dimension of the bench are shown on the attached <br />map. A ramp has been constructed along the diversion to permit dumping of the <br />waste material directly into the trailer. <br />It was necessary to disturb a small portion of the reclaimed area along the <br />diversion during construction of the bench area. Soil material was salvaged, <br />however, from the area disturbed and was placed in the topsoil stockpile area. <br />Minor reseeding around the perimeter of the bench will be conducted this fall. <br />Please call Mr. Jim Ericson or me if you have any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />F <br />Dean R.
