Savage: <br />F~~ 17 t.: <br />Ih11/ED LAMA) RECLAMATION • COAL <br />CplO. D[PT, OE NATUML ~FSO'J?CES <br />ifiis is in response to your letter dated February 13, 1981 to Mr. <br />Jim Renfro concerning outstanding adeguacy corrcnents for the above <br />referenced admendment. Presented below are 'IBM's responses to those <br />concerns. However, before they are presented I might suggest, due to <br />time considerations on MLR's part, that certain points be put off for <br />future consideration and a stipulated approval be given at the February <br />Board Nl:eting. I will summarize those points at the end and suggest <br />a maru7er in which they can be handled to both parties benefit. <br />1) Haulroad Crossing the Undisturbed Drainage in Pit Niunber 2. <br />The road was relocated to prevent environmental degradation <br />due to construction of an embanlanent within the drainage. In <br />addition, the embanlarent would *pcn,; re a significant amount of <br />fill and in the long run would cause rrore reclamation problems <br />due to slope stabilization. A review of an aerial photograph <br />and the mine plan indicate that the road will not be cut into <br />a sandstone outcrop. I suggest you review the aerial photograph <br />of the Trinidad Basin Mine you have on file in your office for <br />the spatial relationship between the sandstone outcrop and the <br />haulroad. If you cannot locate an aerial photograph, TBP9 can <br />supply one for your review. <br />The road will be constructed in coir~pliance with the applicable <br />performance standards. 'Ifiat is, ditches will be constructed at <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />P. O. Box 758, Golden, Colorado 80401 Telephone (303) 278-8665 <br />
