` Ff~E1VIONT PING and REDI-~IIX, INC. <br />839 MacKenzie Avenue <br />P.O. Box 841 <br />Canon City, Colorado 87212 <br />Telephone: <br />(Bus.) 2753264 <br />apes.) 2758200 <br />surface of mined area, and 8' to 10' of gravel remains above the sand- <br />stone, Now, the recycling ponds for the concrete aggregate wash plant <br />were ripped out of the dry sandstone and the water in them is piunped <br />in from an irrigation xell over the hill to the west. The land and <br />well, and all water rights belong to John and Phyllis Ary, who are the <br />president and treasurer, respectively, of Fremont Paving b Redi-Mix, <br />Inc. The water is pumped daily so stagnation should not be a problem. <br />We, also, use two to four thousand gallons of the water a day for the <br />concrete hatching operation. <br />This property has a well permit and a share of irrigation ditch water, <br />but the well will not produce enough water to keep up with the xashing <br />operation, and, of course, irrigation water is no[ in the ditch year <br />round. <br />As a note of interest, one of the parties doing most of the complain- <br />ing about our operation, had, at the time of our purchase, a sewer <br />line dumping raw sewage on our property, not over 75' from the shop <br />building, directly over the underground water flow. We got permis- <br />sion from the property owner to install a septic system on their pro- <br />perty at our expense, not because we were so concerned over water <br />quality, as it seems this party is, but we needed to mine the mat- <br />erial involved, so as to clean up and straighten up the shop yard area. <br />It is, indeed, comforting to know you have friends and neighbors who <br />rejoice in reaping the harvest of ones efforts to help the local <br />economy, and goodness knows, it needs all the help it can get, and yet <br />do everything they can to discourage every attempt that is made to <br />improve the community. We would have been better off to have taken <br />what small profit the economy allows at this time, and put it in our <br />pocket rather than place it back to improve our image and operation. <br />6. The active vertical face was not sloped back the last set because <br />the crusher was to return in two weeks to finish the final phase of <br />production for this year's estimate. However, we were not pressed for <br />material, so they are crushing out a State Highway job in the San Luis <br />Valley, It will probably be another two weeks from this date before <br />they return. <br />I apologize for having written such a lengthy report, but 1 felt it <br />necessary to try to clarify our planning. I sincerely hope to have <br />cleared up questions that your inspection brought to light. Any fur- <br />ther questions, please call me collect at 275-3264 or 275-8200. <br />Page 3 <br />ASPHALT CONCRETE SAND & GRAVEL <br />Equal Opportunity Employer <br />
