Mr. Jim Stevens Division of Minerals and Geology March 30, 1999 Page 2 Bruce Smith, Water Commissioner from Waster District 11, inspected this pit azea with Lawrence Nichols, Hard-Rock Plant Manager, and I am told that he informed Lawrence that there was no problem with this operation. It was not a compliance issue as faz as Water Resources was concerned. He is supposed to be sending a letter to Lawrence on this. As soon as it is received, I will send you a copy. I understand the same Division request for review by the Water Commissioner was sent to Kaess Contracting, Inc. (File No. M-78-193). 1 talked to the Kaess representative. He said Water Resources took no corrective action and that none was required. It was called "tail water" from irrigation. The applicant feels that this should end any concerns in this area. The overhead utility line crossing the pit area was not cited as a possible correction item, but deserved attention from the operator. The operator will be contacting the electric company for their requirements and agreement for liability by the operator. Item 3. Supplement the 1997-98 Annual Report and supply the information required. That report stated that there had been no changes. That was meant [o mean, in the mined area, which did not necessitate any map changes. Part of the pit area was re-disturbed and the material was hauled to the Main Plant south of Salida. There is no intent to cease operations at this pit. I am suggesting to the company that they be more complete in their explanations in their annual reports. [ believe this addressed all the Corrective Action requirements, as well as the other issues discussed. A copy of the agreement with the electric will be supplied to you as soon as received. Call me if there aze any questions. Thanks for your help. Cordially, Lloyd V. "Buck" Barnhart Consultant and Agent for Hard Rock Paving and Redi-Mix, Inc LV B/gb Attach. cc: Hard Rock
