Erickson <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />DMG Field Office <br />484 Turner Drive, Building F, Suite 101 <br />Durango, CO 81301 <br />foe: AM-03, Montoya Pit, Permit No M-80-146 <br />Dear Wally: <br />Divio,cn c:f ,., ~ ros ~ G:~oingY <br />~N~ CE <br />After reviewing with you our package submitted on November 21, 1996 regarding the above <br />amendment application, we would like to request the following adjustments. <br />On our supplemental Exhibit C, D and F map, rather than stockpiling the entire amount of topsoil <br />on the north and south ends, we would like to place a winrow of topsoil along the crest of the <br />highwall on the west side. This soil could then be pushed to the pit floor and stockpiled upon <br />completion of mining this increment of the entire amendment area. This should reduce the dollar <br />amount required to reclaim this area since it would require less equipment. As we mine the <br />second proposed 10 acres, we would continue to stockpile the topsoil on the pit floor in various <br />locations. We would also like to note that we would reclaim the north and south slopes as we <br />work west on additional increments in the future. This is assuming that our additional 10 acre <br />increments go immediately west of the current 10 acre plot. <br />Also, regarding the revegetation process, we would like to request that you delete Mountain <br />Mahogany because of the bad success rate experienced in this area. In place of it, we would like <br />to use Four Wing Salt Brush. <br />In your package dated October 29, 1996 regarding the financial warranty recalculation, we did not <br />see ar~y adjustment for the reclamation work that has already been done on the 24 ages in our <br />current pit. Is this included in your calculations? <br />Thank you for your help and instruction in this matter. Please let us know as soon as possible the <br />results of our requests. <br />Sincerely, <br />~7 <br />ck Gilleland <br />President <br />
