UPLAND GRAVEL, LLC. <br />3202 Springfield Road <br />Grand Junction, Colorado 81503 <br />(970)434 -0510 Office (970) 434 -6510 Fax <br />December 19`h, 2013 <br />To whom it may concern: <br />Mine ID # M- 2001 -088 <br />V In regards to the inspection report by Travis Marshall, dated 11 -21-2013 . <br />The reference to imported backfill materials: <br />Rule 3.1.5(9) a. <br />A map is included showing the rough location of imported materials. <br />b. <br />The total volume to date is estimated at < 10,000 cubic yards. The total volume overtime is <br />unknown as there is no way to know where the depressed area under the gravel deposit ends. <br />The impacted area is currently roughly 200'x160' and a depth that varies between 1' -10'. <br />c. <br />A signed affidavit is attached. <br />d. <br />The materials have been being imported off and on since 2004 and is continuing still. <br />e. <br />The post- mining use was intended (when the mine was applied for in 2001) to be three, <br />ten -acre building lots. As mining progressed from south to north, a depressed area (where <br />the bottom of the gravel deposit dipped deeper into the sub - layer) was excavated out and <br />needed to be filled to ensure a relatively flat surface for future processing of mined materials <br />and end use after the cessation of mining operations and reclamation. <br />f. <br />All materials imported to date have been placed with dozers in approximate 2' lifts and <br />track - walked to interlock and compact everything. Each lift has subsequently been capped <br />with a small amount of dirt to fill the voids before any more large, chunky materials are <br />placed. <br />Thank you for yogi' consideration in this matter. <br />Rinderle <br />
