Mine ID#: 91-04-0017 Dear Ms. Ceccarelli: On Monday, December 18, 1995, Mike Crump, Butte County Public Works Director, and myself, drove out to Hamilton Nord Cana Highway to inspect the reclamation efforts of Mr. Witcher. It was evident by the appearance of grading efforts, heavy equipment tracks, and the general configuration of the boundaries of the mined site, that reclamation efforts had been employed. The result is a pond that will be used by Mr. Witcher for cattle, when there is sufficient precipitation. Natural grasses local for this area were already evident in propagating themselves in portions of the reclaimed area. In discussing the nature, extent and effectiveness of these efforts, both the Mike and I were in agreement that we believe the efforts shown by Mr. Witcher are sufficient. I appreciate the fact that you are measuring Mr. Witcher's reclamation efforts by a reclamation plan submitted by him to your office: It is not a plan that was submitted to the County, nor approved by the County. Even so, the Butte County Public Works Department and the Planning Division are satisfied with the reclamation efforts performed by Mr. Witcher. If you have any questions regarding this matter please feel free to call me at 538-7601.
