Dear Mr. Cazier;
RE: Ellicott Sand & Gravel LLC - Schubert Ranch Sand Resource
M-2018-063 - Adequacy Response 02
On behalf of my client Ellicott Sand & Gravel LLC (ESG) , I am
responding to your second adequacy review letter dated October 25,
2019 . I have included your review points that need to be addressed
in the order presented so the questions and answers will be in the
same document for easy reference.
As we have discussed ESG is not able to get the necessary
drilling and investigation complete for the Geotechnical Stability
Analysis on the banks completed in a timely manner for any
Structures not owned by Schubert Ranch (only structure agreement
returned) . Ellicott Sand & Gravel proposes to not mine within a
minimum of 200 feet from any structure that does not have a signed
agreement until a Geotechnical Stability Analysis can be completed
and approved by the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety. To
this extent I have revised Map Exhibit C-1 - Mining Plan and Map
Exhibit F - Reclamation Plan to show a 200 foot setback on the
South sides of Stages I and IV and the north sides of Stages II and
III along Sanborn Road. Where appropriate I added a 200 foot
setback to the east sides of Stages IV and VI along S. Baggett
Road. I also revised pages 5 THRU 9 In the Exhibit D - Mining
Plan text to note this proposed setback change and provided copies
for the file.
Once we are able to get the Geotechnical Stability Analysis
completed ESG will file a Technical Revision that includes the
Geotechnical Stability Analysis, and the necessary exhibit changes
to revise the setback and allow for mining closer then the 200 foot
setback, should the analysis show that is possible. This Technical
Revision will include new Mining and Reclamation Plan Map Exhibits .
