<br /> Pete Lien &Sons, Inc. has not recommenced operations because we are still looking for a high value use for the chemical grade limestone at this quarry.
<br /> Historically, lime was produced from this site for the smelters and mines in the Leadville area.
<br /> Limestone this pure also has many other uses such as calcium feed supplement for livestock, rock dust for coal mines and pH remediation for soils with a low pH.
<br /> The most recent sales from this quarry were to the Leadville area along the Arkansas River to raise the pH levels in the soil to acceptable level.
<br /> Because of the potential for supplying these markets,we are hesitant to reclaim the site prior to exhausting all options.
<br /> Mining permits like this are also difficult to obtain, making them a valuable resource that warrants keeping them open.
<br /> Our Rifle Quarry, Permit No. M-1985-038,was actually very similar to this operation. We tried for many years to develop a market for it but we were ultimately unsuccessful.
<br /> In the end, it was reclaimed with an innovative use of pond sludge from the Rifle Falls Fish Hatchery and was approved for full surety release on June 14,2021
<br /> Pete Lien&Sons recognizes the fact that this quarry must be reclaimed if we cannot put it in to operation at the end of this second,five(5)period of temporary cessation.
<br /> We are commited to honoring our obligation to either reclaim this quarry or make it operational and have a proven record for either operating a quarry or reclaiming it.
<br /> Therefore,we ask for consideration to grant a second, five year term for Temporary Cessation.
