DATE: February 3, 2014 <br /> NAME OF MINE OPERATOR: <br /> HUERFANO COUNTY GOVERNMENT <br /> 401 Main Street Suite 201 <br /> Walsenburg, CO 81089 <br /> NAME OF MINE: LONE TREE GRAVEL PIT <br /> MLRB NUMBER: M- - <br /> APPROXIMATE SIZE OF PROPERTY: Pit Parcel = 40.0 Acres, Access Road = 16.02 Acres <br /> 1 .0 Management Goals: Management goals describe the purpose/use of the property and <br /> what you are trying to achieve.
