<br />David Holm, 2012 Mapleton St. <br />Lder <br />Letter to be sent to <br />Colorado Mined Land <br />Reclamation Division <br />PROGRESS REPORT <br />BOULDER ROAD - <br />ENGINEERING <br />12/4/84 Page -14- <br />Mr. Holm stated that he was in charge of <br />the inactive mine reclamation program. The <br />program is funded by fees that coal companies <br />pay and the purpose of the program is to <br />dea:L with the hazards and enviornmental <br />problems that were brought about by past <br />mining acitivities. They have worked on <br />approximately 150 coal mine sites and have <br />dea]Lt with underground mine fires, sealed <br />shaj:ts, etc. They have also faced up to <br />mine: subsidence by mapping on USGS topo- <br />graphic maps and focused on the front range. <br />This is where the hazard is - where you have <br />surface development and undermined conditic. ~: ; , <br />He then provided Council with maps of mine:- <br />on ai county by county basis. Mr. Holm <br />described in detail what the program has <br />been doing relative to drilling investigati~d~s <br />to find out the hazardous areas, as well <br />as ~~tudies that are done on public thorough-- <br />fare:s to update their maps so that should <br />development occur there is more information <br />available. Mr. Holm stated that Lloyds of <br />London was the only insurance company that <br />covered mine subsidence and it was very ex- <br />pensive. He stated that he would estimate <br />there were approximately 10 subsidence events <br />a year in the state of Colorado. Most of the <br />damage has not been to structures but to prow-- <br />perty, streets, utilities - broken water lin.=~s <br />and holes that had to be filled. <br />Councilman Leary moved, Councilwoman Morris <br />seconded that a letter be sent to the Color~..?o <br />Mined Land Reclamation Division stating thaj_: <br />the City of Louisville would like more in- <br />formation on subsurface mined conditions <br />within the City. All in favor. Motion <br />carried unanimously. <br />ON SOUTH Councilmembers had a copy of a letter from <br />CENTENNIAL Robert Burns, Project Manager for Centennia'. <br />Engineering giving a progress report on <br />Sough Boulder Road, as well as an update <br />on t:he School Crossing Signals. <br />Bob Cellars, 6511 Welsh Mr. Cellars stated that he was the Principal <br />~ourt, Arvada Engineer of Centennial Engineering and <br />would be happy to answer any questions Council <br />might have. <br />
