Box 449 Natural Resource Trustee <br />Florence, CO 81226 <br />RE: 2006 Annual Reclamation Report, Southfield Mine, Permit No. C-81-014 <br />Dear Mr. Patterson: <br />The Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety (Division) has completed review of the <br />2006 Annual Reclamation Report (ARR) for the Southfield Mine. Acreage values <br />reported appear accurate and represent the current reclamation status at the mine. <br />No additional disturbance or reclamation work was completed during 2006. Areas yet to <br />be reclaimed include 8.4 acres of land occupied by temporary sediment ponds at the <br />main site and at the loadout. Activity at the site during the calendar year included road <br />grading, silt fence repair, ditch maintenance and weed control (knapweed). The <br />locations of these activities were noted on maps included in the report. <br />The first growing season for this site was in 2004. The approved permit application <br />required the revegetated areas to be evaluated after the third growing season. I.M.E., <br />Inc. conducted vegetation surveys in August and September of 2006. Review and <br />discussion of this report by the Division wil- come under separate cover. <br />We have no further questions at this time. If you have any questions, please call me. <br />Since ly, ~2~~ <br />Kent Gorham <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Office of Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Denver Grand Junction • Du2ngo Active and Inactive Mines <br />
