(All -Rite) submits this request to reduce total permitted acres in the <br />above referenced mining permit from 255.28 acres to 223.68 acres. <br />Two maps are provided based on a survey performed in August 2014: an aerial map and a USGS <br />topographic map. Two areas, Removal 1 area and Removal 2 area, are being requested for removal. <br />The area outlined in blue is the current permit boundary. The area outlined in red is the proposed <br />permit boundary. <br />Removal 1 area was a permit amendment by the previous operator approved in 1985. The area was <br />not mined by the previous operator. All -Rite does not have a right to enter the property from Betty <br />Jean Baker, Todd Baker and Donald Gause, the property owners. All -Rite requests removal of 11.6 <br />acres from the permit boundary. <br />Removal 2 area contains structures that were constructed by the property owner after the permit was <br />approved in 1977. Gail Zimmerman, the property owner, delineated the area for removal to allow for <br />the intended use of the structures. All -Rite requests removal of 20 acres from the permit boundary <br />containing the residence and agricultural buildings. <br />Lastly, during the 2014 inspection, noxious weeds were observed on the site and noted in the <br />inspection report. Herbicide application was recommended for treatment. All -Rite notified Ms. <br />Zimmerman of its intention to spray the weeds and she requested herbicide not be applied since cattle <br />are grazing concurrently with mining. A letter from Gail Zimmerman is enclosed requesting All -Rite <br />not apply herbicide to weeds. All -Rite will make every effort to control noxious weeds without <br />applying herbicide. <br />N o <br />�& �zs/�ais <br />zo/lirronmet wall /Admear adiVeS linc. <br />1107 Main Street, Canon City, CO 81212 <br />www.envalternatives.com -e-mail: eai @bresnan.net <br />Phone: 719 - 275 -8951 -Fax: 719 - 275 -1715 <br />
