The additional acreage lies south and east of the existing permit area. The site is located at the Junction <br />of County Road P and State Highway 142, about 2 miles south of new San Acaclo. <br />the required notice has been posted. <br />The operator is currently mining a terraced area on the south side of an east-west trending valley. The sand and <br />gravel is being mined to a depth of 2030 feet; down to the valley floor elevation. <br />Undisturbed areas are comprised mainly of rabbitbrush, sagebrush with very little grass understory. <br />The west side of the proposed added acreage is adjacent to SH 142. Most of the south boundary abuts up to <br />County Raad P. The southeast and east portion of the proposed permit boundary is delineated by the <br />abandoned San Luis Valley Southern Railroad right-of-way. <br />There are three signs at the junction of CR P and SH 142 (SE corner) warning of an underground fiberoptlcs cable <br />and telephone cable. The utilities appear to run E-W on the south side of CR P. If these man-made structures are <br />within 200 feet of the proposed affected land area, the operator must comply with Exhibit S requirements. <br />The operator shows an old landfill on Exhibit A map. Currently, the area contains mostly concrete and asphalt <br />waste. The area is inside the existing permit. <br />Observed a large elecfic transmission line on the east side of the proposed expanded area; possibly within 200 <br />feet of the proposed affected land. Might need to be addressed in Exhibit 5. <br />Did not observe any problems. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Mathew Valdez <br />OPERATOR: Castilla Count <br />STREET: x.59 Main StrP P.t <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: Snm I uic Cr) R 1 159 <br />Harry Posey (e-mail) <br />cc: r CE <br />r BL <br />r FS <br />r HW <br />r HMWMD )CH) <br />r sE <br />r wQCD (cH) <br />r OTHER <br />
