Ms. Kibbie Ward U.S. West Communications Steamboat Springs Field Office P.O. Box 773685 Steamboat Springs, CO 80477-3685 17 January 1997 Re: Request for Written Approval on the Construction of a Proposed Gravel Pit Mine Access Road. • • Dear Ms. Ward: Mr. Frank Camilletti has obtained permits from both Routt County and the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology to operate a gravel pit approximately one quarter mile southeast of the town of Milner. This location is shown on the enclosed figure entitled "Figure 1, Camilletti-Milner Gravel Pit Site Location Map." A detailed plan showing the location of the proposed gravel pit and access roads is shown on the enclosed map entitled "Proposed Reclamation Plan." There is a fiber optic cable buried in the barrow ditch along the east side of Routt County Road # 174 at this location. Access to the proposed gravel pit must cross this buried telephone line. The applicant has proposed filling the barrow ditch with approximately 4 to 6 feet of material at this site to build his access road. NO excavation in the vicinity of telephone line will occur. The closest excavation to the buried telephone line will be approximately 60 feet to the east of the telephone site at an elevation approximately 15 feet higher where a "Proposed Sediment Basin", required by the Colorado Department of Health to control runoff waters from the site must be built. The closest excavation of gravel from the buried telephone line is approximately 236 feet to the east on a hill approximately 30 feet higher in elevation. The Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology approved the mining permit with the stipulation that "there shall be no disturbance within 200 feet of the gas line or telephone fiber optic cable without an engineering evaluation of "no damage" or an agreement with the owners of these structures to mine closer." The purpose of this letter is to formally request written confirmation from U.S. West Communications to the effect that the -placement of approximately.4 to.6 feet.of fill on top of their buried fiber optic telephone line will not damage this structure. A similar request has been made to Public Service Company of Colorado, owner of the buried high pressure gas line in the barrow ditch and they have submitted a letter to the applicant giving their approval for this construction. A similar concurrent is requested from U.S. West,Communications.
