iii iiiiiiiiiiiuiii 999 58ptamber 16, 1980 Mr. Barto Babbitt Fremont County Planner P. 0. Box 439 Canon City, Colorado 81212 RE: District $2 Gravel Pit our Flle: !79-216 ,. Unpermltted Sand and Gravel Operation on Madlum Security State Penitentiary Land Our File: none Dear Mr. Babbitt: On September 1.2, 1980, 1 made Inspections of the above captioned operations. Neither of them has bean permitted by the Mined Land Reclamation Board, and both were In operation. The District ~2 pit has had an application pending since December 28, 1979. Tha application was originally filed as a regular Impact, 112 permit appii- catton and, as such was Incomplete. I suggested at that time that the application b® filed as a limited impact, 110 permit application (if appro- priate) and this was subsequently done and Judged canplete as of January 18, 1980. However, the application was severely inadequate as of that date and. on January 21, 1980, our Division received a letter from Dolly Duefield requesting an Indefinite continuance until the application materials were adequate. I wrote a latter on that same date outlining the adequacy concerns in some detail. I have enclosed a copy of that letter and chocked the Items that were satisfied In Ms. Dueflelds final submission to mm of June 13, 1980. The application, however, Is still inadequate In the other areas outlined In this letter and, as such, could not be approved by our Board. My Inspection also indicated that the disturbed area is already over 10 acres and thus would preclude a 110 application. My last contact on this operation was with Commissioner Buglewica on August 7 and 1 have heard nothing since. The other operation I inspected is on the Colorado Medium Security State Penitentiary grounds, about 2 miles south of Route 50 and 5 mlfes east of Canon City. Fremont County is evidently mining what seems to be an aggregate
