Cattany <br />Division Director <br />,i Natural Resource Tmstee <br />Preliminary Adequacy <br />The Division received your amendment application for the Reclamation Pit # 1 on March 4, 2004. <br />The original decision date was June 2, 2004 but was extended until June 21, 2004. The <br />amendment application was very well organized and substantially adequate as submitted. The <br />one area that will require some modification is the seeding section of the reclamation plan. The <br />application proposed changing the mix to comport with the Urban Drainage and Flood Control <br />District's seed mix since they have jurisdiction over areas adjacent to the river and also adjacent <br />to this site. The species included in the mix aze generally acceptable to the Division, however, <br />the application rates are too high for this azea. <br />In addition, our office received a comment from the West Adams Soil Conservation District <br />concerning the composition of the approved seed mix along with a suggested mix that would be <br />more appropriate for this area. Their mix, while not identical to your mix, contains many of the <br />same species and a couple of additional ones that we think would be beneficial to include in your <br />mix. Therefore, we have prepared a revised mix for your consideration. If this mix is acceptable, <br />please revise Table RV 2 for inclusion into the application. <br />Also enclosed for your review aze all of the comments that we received from various agencies <br />that may have an interest in this application. We believe most of the issues identified in these <br />letters have been adequately addressed throughout your application. <br />Thank you for your prompt consideration of this matter. If you have any questions, please <br />contact me at (303) 866-4926. <br />ly - `~.I~ <br />Anthony Waldron <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />CC: Michael Walker- Denver Water <br />Dean Craft-Suburban Sand and Gravel Co. <br />Enclosure(s) <br />Office of Office of Colorado <br />AAlned I and Rerlamatinn Active and Inactive Mines GeoloRi<al Survey <br />
