Joe Keating <br />Gentlemen: <br />~ar~ 4~ ~~a;a <br /> <br />As required by your current regulations, we herewith submit <br />our application to engage in open pit mining of sand and <br />gravel. The location of this proposed gravel pit is as <br />noted on the attached map which was prepared by Air Photo <br />Surveys, Inc. of Grand Junction, Colorado. <br />The owners of the surface of the area of land to be affected <br />are Edward T. and Alta T. Leighton, c/o John Schmahl. 'de <br />have an Agreement from the owner xhich grants us permission <br />to extract and process the sand and gravel located within the <br />designated pit area. <br />During the past 10 to 15 years numerous gravel pits have <br />been indeterminately ex ravated throughout the proposed pit <br />area. Overburden, trash, brush etc. has been indiscriminately <br />piled within the perimeter of the proposed pit. These <br />previous operations have killed the vegetation and xeeds now <br />cover most of the affected surface area. <br />During our investigation of the area we have found that the <br />gravel has not been totally removed from the old pits. Only <br />that material which lies at or above the water table has been <br />e:tcavated. We have determined that approximately 8 to 10 <br />feet of gravel is available. <br />We propose to excavate a sump area around the pit and dewater <br />the sand and gravel deposit. At that time the material can <br />be removed and processed for use. <br />
