• (Page 2) • <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # M-81-277 <br />INSPECTION DATE 11/11/98 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS ESC <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This was an inspection of the Beach Hill Quarries conducted by Erica Crosby of the Colorado <br />Division of Minerals and Geology. The inspection was conducted in response to an anonymous <br />citizen complaint letter received by the Division on October 13, 1996. The letter (signed <br />by Concerned) states the following; <br />" We would like to report that the people quarrying these quarries are not within the areas <br />permitted. They are even quarrying on to some one else's land on the north end of their <br />property into a different county. These quarries are permitted in Boulder County, above <br />Lyons." <br />Mike Loukonen was provided a copy of the anonymous citizen complaint letter. The Beach Hill <br />Quarries consist of 8 separate pits, which total a maximum disturbed area of 9.9 acres. The <br />citizen complaint letter is in regard to the most northerly quarry on the property, which is <br />called Helsinki. The Helsinki site is situated south of the Larimer-Boulder county line. <br />Either the operator or the adjacent landowner has recently surveyed the Boulder-Larimer <br />County Line. A portion of the pit, roughly 50 foot wide and 150 foot long, extends north <br />beyond the surveyed markers. However, the pit does fall within the permit boundary markers <br />that were established by the operator. It appears that this dispute is between the operator <br />and the adjacent landowner. Once the issue has been resolved, the operator will need to file <br />a revision or amendment to the permit clarifying the permit boundary. <br />The remaining quarries were also inspected. Permit boundary markers could not be located on <br />various sections of the 8 quarries. The operator will need to mark~the boundary locations <br />within 60 days of receipt of this report. The Division will conduct a follow-up inspection <br />after this date to verify boundary markers and affected areas. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME Mike Loukonen <br />OPERATOR Loukonen Brothers <br />STREET 12993 N.
