Colo~otlo 80203 <br />Corporation 303/837-1242 <br />November 18, 1977 <br />Mr. Dean Massey <br />Colorado Mined Land Reclamation <br />1313 Sherman St. Room 723 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Dear Dean; <br />Sunflower Energy Corporation respectfully files <br />the following technical revision: <br />In the process of excavating the water storage <br />reservoir which will satisfy our dust suppression require- <br />ments, Sunflower has exposed several feet of gravel lying <br />beneath an average overburden coverage of 12 to 2 feet. <br />Removal of the gravel is necessary to obtain the desired <br />reservoir depth and would not affect additional acreage <br />or future reclamation as the area will remain a reservoir. <br />The Delta County Commissioners have recommended <br />that the removed material be placed on the adjacent county <br />road. This action would eliminate the necessity of develop- <br />ing anew pit and/or trucking the necessary 15,000 cubin <br />yards for road improvement through the town of Paonia, <br />Colorado. <br />Assuming an average of 3000 lbs. per cubic <br />yard of gravel and 2000 lbs. per cubic yard of overburden, <br />the total tonnage extracted during the reservoir development <br />will total 27,500 tons. This figure, when added to the other <br />portal and road development tonnage is comfortably below <br />the calendar year limit of 70,000 tons. <br />In the event that any crushing takes place, <br />Sunflower will amend it's Fugitive Dust Permit to comply <br />with air quality standards. Affected area is not increased <br />nor is reclamation affected as the 3:1 slope will be main- <br />tained on the perimeter of the reservoir area. <br />Re~ ly yours, <br />Samuel J. Hoffmann <br />SJH/kd <br />
