RIO GRANDE COUNTY ROAD DEPARTMENT <br /> 168 N WASHINGTON—MONTE VISTA, CO. 61144 <br /> (719) 852-4781 FAX(719)852-0305 <br /> RJV <br /> @►©pD & BRIDGE <br /> July 29, 2014 <br /> Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br /> 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br /> Denver, Colorado 80203 <br /> RE: Technical Revision for Rio Grande County <br /> To Whom It May Concern; <br /> Rio Grande County has submitted a request for a Technical Revision to allow for the importation of <br /> materials into our gravel pits. Materials would include rock, gravel,top soil, rip-rap,tree limbs, brush <br /> and other related roadside construction materials necessary for the maintenance and construction of <br /> roads,road right of way and reclamation of pit slopes. The County frequently experiences emergency <br /> situations where debris from rain and snow events washes into the roadway. It is cost effective for the <br /> county to haul the material to the closest pit. Also, during construction we encounter unsuitable sub- <br /> base that must be removed for stability purposes,again hauling to the closest location is cost effective. <br /> The materials generated in its original form may not be suitable for sub-base but often other products <br /> can be added producing a usable material for other road applications. <br /> Rio Grande County is committed to maintain safe,clean and compliant pits. With the approval of this <br /> Technical Revision request,this will enable Rio Grande County to utilize our resources effectively by <br /> recycling other materials and ultimately lengthening the life of our pits. <br /> Please contact me if there are any questions. <br /> rRe'�ctf ll <br /> Patrick Sullivan <br /> Road Supervisor <br /> Rio Grande County <br />
