Cattany <br />Division DIleCY01 <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />RE: 2004 ARR Review, Lorencito Canyon Mine, #C-96-084 <br />Mr. Thompson: <br />The Division of Minerals and Geology has completed review of the 2004 Annual <br />Reclamation Report for the Lorencito Canyon Mine, #C-9ti-084. The ARR map was <br />also include with the report and reviewed accordingly. <br />The acreage reported concurs with the information recently approved under Technical <br />Revision #13. The acres reported as backfilled and graded (122.1 ac) when added to <br />the acreage in long-term facilities (31.7 ac) and the acreage in active mining areas (0 <br />ac) equals the total disturbed area (153.8 ac). When the borrow topsoil borrow area is <br />disturbed in 2005 (2.7 ac) and the acres still subject to reclamation (4.9 ac) are <br />reclaimed, the mine will report 129.7 acres of backfilling and grading and 26.8 acres of <br />permanent facilities which totals 156.5 acres (153.8 ac + 2.7 ac borrow area). <br />One helpful addition to the map would be to add the area description or code as <br />designated on Tables ARR-1 and ARR-2 to the appropriate areas on the ARR map. <br />Twenty-four bags of seed were shipped and received in January 2004 according to an <br />invoice included in this year's report. Receipts for delivery of certified weed-free straw <br />bales were also included. The seed mix and mulch used are in accordance with the <br />approved reclamation plan. <br />We have no further questions at this time. Thank you for your diligence in completing <br />your monitoring and reporting requirements. If you have any questions, please call me. <br />Sincer ly, <br />~~~ <br />K t Gorham <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Office of Office of Colorado <br />Mined Land Reclamation Active and Inactive Mines Geological Survey <br />
