March 5, 2014 <br />BOARD OF <br />County Commissioners <br />CROWLEY COUNTY <br />603 MAIN ST. • SUITE 2 <br />ORDWAY, COLORADO 81063 <br />Phone (719) 267 -5555 Ext. 2 • Fax (719) 267 -3114 <br />CROWLEY COUNTY <br />Crowley County Gravel Pit #2 <br />Permit Number M- 1982 -126 <br />GARY GIBSON, DIST. 1 <br />FRANK GRANT, DIST. 2 <br />T.E. (Tobe) ALLUMBAUGH, DIST. 3 <br />During the past few years, Crowley County has mined this gravel pit sparingly, as the quality of <br />the product has been continually declining. Where we once could gather a good gravel and <br />binder mix, the binder has nearly disappeared. When we do attempt to screen gravel, all we end <br />up getting is sand and certainly not the quality we need for our road base. As a result, we have <br />been buying most of our gravel from a private vendor. <br />In discussions with an engineering firm, we were informed that we could screen our gravel at the <br />pit and haul in a binder to mix with it. We have found that this procedure is costly and not very <br />effective. We are continuing to try other alternatives in an effort to continue operating in our pit. <br />If we have not found a solution by the end of the year, we will consider applying for Temporary <br />Ces ation or Intermittent Status. <br />E. (Tobe) Allumbaugh <br />Chairman <br />Board of Commissioners <br />Crowley County is an Equal Opportunity Employer <br />
