Sherman, Room 42_`V Denver, Colorado 80203 Subject: Forest Lakes Sand and Gravel Operations. Dear Mr. Schmieding, 0 I ~~ ~° c~~~~S . RE~EO~/ED JULL b 1981 MINED LAND HECLAP~IATION Colo. rJept. of Na!ural kesources Please find attached Southwest Properties limited impact operations permit application for your review. In addition to the application and reference material I want to make you aware of several factors your office may be confused on. 1. The legal description for our operations area is: SEA of the SFi4 of Section 3 T-35N, R-7W 2. Our gravel operation is limited to an existing gravel pit once mined by The State of Colorado, under a lease with Mr. Bebee. This pit is located west of the Wommer Irrigation Ditch and used as an effluent percolation pond for our subdivisions sewage treatment. It is the last pond in a chain of percolation ponds and allows discharge of clean water into the Pine River. The level of this pond is controlled according to our inflow rate and releases are limited primarily to summer time. The Forest Lakes Metropolitan District, which provides central sewer and treatment for Forest Lakes, has determined that this pond needs to be increased in size according to the map marked Exhibit B. The old gravel pit located east of Wommer Ditch is being converted into a full time percolation pond, and gravel crushing has been discontinued there, for some time. There remains a stockpile of material which was crushed from the lower pit referenced above. The old pit, which is not being mined, does have a number of burned stumps near the edge of the pit, but not in it. This was apparently a contention from your inspector during a recent visit. 1005 West Southern Avenue / Mesa, Arizona 85202 / Telephone (602) 969-8000
