OFFICE 8 YARD 2868 FREEWAY EAST Grand Junction, Colorado 81501 January 23, 197li Colorado Division of Mines 1845 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203 Attention: Mr. Joe Keating Gentlemen: As required by your current regulations, xe herexi-th submit our application to engage in open pit mining of sand and gravel. The location of this proposed gravel pit is as noted on the attached map which was prepared by Air Photo Surveys, Inc. of Grand Junction, Colorado. The owners of the surface of the area of land to be affected are Edward T. and Alta T. Leighton, c/o John Schmahl, We have an Agreement from the owner xhich grants us permission to extract and process the sand and gravel located within the designated pit area, During the past IO to 15 years numerous gravel pits have been indeterminately excavated throughout the proposed pit area. Overburden, trash, brush etc. has been indiscriminately piled within the perimeter of the proposed pit. These previous operations have killed the vegetation and xeeds now cover most of the affected surface area. During our investigation of the area we have found that the gravel has not been totally removed from the old pits. (hilt' that material xhich lies at or above the water table has been excavated. We have determined that approximately 8 to 10 feet of gravel is available. We propose to excavate a sump area around the pit and dewater the sand and gravel deposit. At that time the material can be removed and processed for use.
