<br />• <br />MAY 05 1995 <br />Mr. Thomas A. Schreiner <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Division of Minerals and Geology <br />Dept. of Natural Resources <br />1313 Sherman St., Room 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Dear Mr. Schreiner: <br />• III IIIIIIIIIIIII III <br />~wls~on or Iv„nerals a Geology <br />Re: Permit No. M-77-219 <br />This is in response to your review and letter of April 13, 1995 <br />regarding our amendment application. <br />1. The existing highwall for pit No. 1 is for the most part <br />along only the north side of this pit. As mining progresses <br />to the north, the highwall will move northward, but should <br />not increase in length. The area to the south of the <br />highwall will continually be backfilled and graded as mining <br />progresses northward. Thus, there should be no significant <br />increase in highwall length. <br />when pit No. 1 is eventually connected to pit No. 2, most of <br />the highwall will be eliminated during the stripping of the <br />final segment. This would leave only backfilled areas <br />surrounding the final segment to be mined. These slopes <br />would require final grading and seeding but only minimal <br />slope reduction. <br />In summary, the current plan would not generate additional <br />highwall. The highwall would generally move northward and <br />eventually be eliminated as part of the normal stripping and <br />mining. <br />2. We would propose to use a seed mixture similar to that <br />listed in your April 13, 1995 letter. <br />3. The cost of mobilization of earth moving equipment was <br />included in the estimated cost for reducing highwall, final <br />grading and seeding. This equipment would most likely be <br />one dozer and one medium size scraper. <br />GREEN BOULEVARD MEXICO, MISSOURI 65265 U. $.
