Colorado 80203 <br />Dear Mr. O'Connor: <br />pivision <br />NATURAL RESOURCES <br />L E C 1 198.3 <br />R.71NED LF~PJD kEGFlh-!gTIDN DIVISION <br />Colo. Depi. cl A~aturl kesc~rces <br />Cliffs Engineering, Inc. wishes to respond to your comments dated November <br />15, 1983 on behalf of Industrial Resources, Inc. regarding their proposed pilot <br />solution mining operation. Our responses follow the format of your comments: <br />MLRD Comment: <br />The Division is very concerned with the moving of the <br />topsoil stockpile from its current location next to the Bulk <br />Sampling Plant to an area adjacent to pond No. 1. Pursuant <br />to Rule 6.4(c) of Rules and Regulations, topsoil stockpiles <br />are to be located in areas where disturbances from ongoing <br />operation will be minimized. Also, pursuant to Rule 6.4(d) <br />of the Rules and Regulations, any relocation of an existing <br />topsoil stockpile requires Mined Land Reclamation Board <br />approval. <br />Due to increasing from the Bulk Sampling Plant phase to the <br />Pilot Plant phase, the Division understands the necessity of <br />moving the topsoil stockpile and will recommend approval to <br />the Board. However, the Division requests assurance by the <br />operator that this topsoil stockpile will not have to be <br />moved again in the future when the operation is phased up to <br />a commercial size scale. If the topsoil stockpile does have <br />to be relocated during the commercial phase, is it possible <br />to locate the pile in another location (that will not be <br />disturbed) now instead of at a future date? <br />A Subsidiary of The Cleveland-Cliffs Iron Company <br />BIB TAUGHEN9AUGH 9LV 0.
