(3031 b:~335G/ III III III III IIII III <br />~... fS I 999 <br />~Hamiet a. tsarry, iii, <br />Director <br />Colony Development Corporation <br />(No file No.) <br />September 19,.1979 <br />On September 11, 1979, I made a site visit to Colony Development Corp. <br />site in Parachute Creek. The purpose of the visit was to see the areas <br />proposed for spent shale disposal for a full scale operation proposed <br />at Colony. <br />The application will not be delivered to our office for at least another <br />month. Mr. John Strawn of Colony provided a topographic map outlining the <br />areas proposed for dump disposal. He told me to be in touch with Ki <br />Biancia at the site. Upon arrival, I was able to contact Ki and after <br />a discussion determined that I could drop 6y to the mine site and on to <br />the processing and disposal sites on my own. 1 departed and got only <br />about a mile up Davis Gulch when I had a flat tire. At this point, I <br />walked on and got a general lay of the land, but was unable to see <br />in detail the areas of concern. I will have to examine air photos and <br />make another site visit with Mr. John Strawn of Colony at d future <br />date. <br />The road at this time is so bad that I would not attempt tq take a <br />State vehicle up there again. In general I was impressed with [he amount <br />of water in Davis Gulch for this late date in the summer, For this reason, <br />and for the reason of long term maintenance and flash flooding, l do not <br />believe that permit blockage of Davis Gulch by tailings is advisable as <br />a method of disposal. I have suggested to John that the material should <br />be placed in the upper reaches of the many tributaries to Davis Gulch . <br />with perhaps a few steep slopes, but in general a very large plateau <br />type of fill in the upper area. <br />!'~ <br />
