Greg Lewicki And Associates, PLLC <br />11541 Warrington Court Phone: (303) 346-5196 Fax (303)-346-6934 <br />Parker, CO USA 80138 C -Mail• infoolewidd.biz <br />June 5, 2015 <br />Michael Stanley <br />Regulatory Specialist <br />Denver Regulatory Office <br />9307 S. Wadsworth Blvd. <br />Littleton, CO 80128-6901 <br />Michael: <br />As we discussed, I have enclosed the information regarding the proposed crossing of the <br />Middle Fork of the South Platte River below Alma, Colorado. <br />The site is the Iocation of past gold placer mining and has been subject of a DRMS 110 <br />permit in the past which utilizes an old crossing of the River. This crossing is shown in <br />Photo 1. This old crossing seems to work well since it has a base of rock with an <br />approximate D50 of 1-2 feet. Some smaller material has filled in the gaps. The crossing <br />operates well with minimal sediment moving downstream. <br />The landowner, who also operates a one man gold placer operation, has decided to <br />expand the operation to both sides of the River, and has submitted a new 112 application <br />to the Division of Mining Reclamation and Safety regarding this expansion. The <br />expansion of the pit area also requires a new crossing that is nearby the old one. Photo 2 <br />shows the location of this proposed new crossing. This crossing will only be used by a <br />small rubber tired loader and a pickup truck. The use will be limited to 1-3 crossings per <br />week. <br />A General Location Map follows the photograph showing the location of the crossing in <br />plan view. <br />
