<br /> <br />buffaloberry, bulrush and reedgrass are also recommended, but the rates, densities, or acreage of such <br />plantings are not given, making it difficult to determine if the estimated cost of $600.00 per acre for <br />revegetatiott is realistic. <br />EXHIBIT M -OTHER PERMITS AND LICENSES AND RELATED ISSUES <br />Blasting and Noise Control, Exhibit pg 46 <br />NOISE CONTROL, second paragraph <br />The paragraph implies that only the two residences located closest to the proposed gravel pit, the <br />Robinson residence and the Akin residence, will be the only property owners affected by noise from <br />general pi[ operations. However, residences within [he Butler subdivision, which is located next to the <br />Twin Spruce pits approximately I mile north of the proposed Line Camp pi[ (see attached maps), can <br />easily Bear the operations at the Tam Pit, which is located approximately I mile south of the proposed <br />Line Camp Pit. (You are probably beginning to see why the residents within this portion of the river <br />valley are beginning to tire of gravel pit operations). We realize that noise issues are not subject to <br />jurisdiction by the Division of Minerals and Geology or the Mined Land Reclamation Board, but we feel <br />that the noise issue is misrepresented in the reclamation plan. <br />EXHIBIT S -PERMANENT MAN-MADE STRUCTURES, Exhibit pg 54. <br />No. I . Permanent manmade structures within 200 feet of the affected area. <br />Again, the listing of a 20-30 foot unpaved (gravel) access road [o Line Camp ranch headquarters is a <br />misrepresentation of facts. There is currently tto existing access in this location. As has been stated <br />previously, the only Line Camp ranch access that currently exists off of Highway 145 is the I 0-foot wide <br />unpaved (gravel) road that passes through [he riding area stables, as is listed in No. 2 of this same page. <br />Also, the 700 foot long pipeline that is said to exist is questioned, as there is currently no visible surface <br />indication of this pipeline or the outlet. The Robinsons, whose property is located adjacent to the Line <br />Camp where the said pipeline is depicted as discharging into the Dolores River (survey plats on Exhibit <br />pgs 50 and 60), are not aware of its existence. <br />No. 5 on Exhibit pg 54 states that there will be tto operations within the highway right-of--way. Access to <br />the highway is via a relocated private access road belonging to the landowner. This access has not been <br />relocated as of Feb 25 2001, and will need to be constructed, and therefore operations related to the <br />proposed gravel pit will be located within the highway right-of--way, making this a false statement. <br />ATTACHMENT 1 (ENGINEERING EVALUATION) TO EXHIBIT S -PERMANENT <br />MANMADE STRUCTURES, Exhibit pg 58 <br />As above, the 20-foot unpaved (gravel) road to Line Camp ranch headquarters does not exist, but it is <br />portrayed by the Environmental Engineer as if it is an existing permanent manmade structure and will be <br />improved to a 30-toot width for gravel pit operations. The Environmental Engineer also describes the <br />alleged existing 700 foot drain pipe (Exhibit pg 59), but does not indicate the diameter of the pipe or the <br />discharge Flow rate [he pipe is capable of Therefore, even if this pipe does exist, which seems doubtful, it <br />has not been demonstrated that it will be adequate for the purpose [hat is now proposed. <br />-8- <br />
