CO 80203 <br />Subject: Bear River Gravel Pit (your reference #M1986040) <br />Carl, <br />RECEIVED <br />MAR 13 2002 <br />pivision of Minerals and Geology <br />In regard to my telephone conversations with your associate, Tom Schreiner, a couple of weeks <br />ago, this letter serves to confirm Routt County's concern about the status of the above mentioned <br />gravel pit. Routt County considers that this operation has anon-conforming use status limited to <br />the permit granted to Cass Weber from the Mined Land Reclamation Board in 1977, permit <br />number 77-519. The site is not operating under a Special Use Permit from Routt County. <br />It appears that the operation is inactive and that the site generally is in poor condition. Equipment <br />sits idle, stockpiles remain untouched and covered with weeds. The site is highly visible from <br />U.S. Highway 40. It is unknown if any gravel has been removed from the site in recent years. <br />Accordingly, we feel the site should be reclaimed since no mining activity has occurred. <br />Given the nature of this operation, would you please advise this office as to the status and/or <br />process under which the CDMG may require final reclamation of this site. Your assistance in this <br />matter is greatly appreciated. <br />If you have any questions regarding our comments, call me at (970) 879-2704. <br />Res ectfully, <br />G-~~ <br />im Goossens <br />Staff Planner <br />Routt County Planning Department <br />Cc: Board of County Commissioners <br />County Manager <br />
