This map shows the Northwest topsoil stockpile exceeding the permit <br />boundary. The stockpile was placed using the fence-line that existed from prior to the <br />purchase of the property. As the surveyed map shows, the fence-line was placed <br />inaccurately. The adjoining property owner to the North is Alamosa County and they are <br />aware that the stockpile rests on their boundary. They are willing to provide us with D ~®~ <br />written authorization allowing us to stockpile this material on their property. ~'~%~o'o' FCG°r ~® <br />~;;~P ~ `~QO? <br />Topsoil is currently being removed and stockpiled before mining. The map shows that 'BJa~,.£ <br />topsoil stockpiles have been created in correlation with current mining activity. An `<... <br />inspection of the current stripped azea reveals that a small amount of topsoil was ,p <br />consumed during the last mining phase. When mining begins again stripping will be <br />completed again to insure the complete removal of all topsoil. Much of the stockpiled <br />topsoil has been placed along the North boundary over the final graded area. It should be <br />noted that stockpiling of topsoil had not been completed from the mining of the previous <br />landowner prior to 1982 when the property was purchased. The area previously mined <br />was between 15 and 20 acres. This makes it appear as though Southway Construction <br />has not preserved the topsoil while in fact we started out at a lazge deficit. The Northwest <br />topsoil stockpile may be moved away from the slope to prevent loss during the grading of <br />slopes. <br />If you need further information is needed please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />Kris Deco r <br />Office Manager <br />%: <br />
