Attn.: Mr. Roger Funston Mr. Randy Overton My letter of August 4, 197$, referenced inadequacy items of the subject quarry permit application which were being prepared. We expect explanations in this letter and attachments will com- plete the application file. Attached is a letter from the Fremont County Planning Director to Mr. William Springman, Portland plant manager, to replace Exhibit M and constitute County approval of limestone mining as an accessory use in Industrial Districts. All of Ideal's property outlined on previously furnished Property Map P-2 is zoned as Industrial, Mr. Springman has advised Mr. Welch by letter that the limestone removal operations are in fact acces- sory to this industrial zone and that Ideal will submit to the County a copy of the final Colorado State approved reclamation plan and any future technical changes. By letter of transmittal dated August 1$, 1978 you were furnished copies of a paper with attachment, presenting information and reasons for exclusion of the Portland Cement manufacturing facili- ties from "affected land." This exclusion was then approved by the Board at their August 23, 197$ meeting. Attached is a revised copy of Map pcc-13$7, marked Exhibit C, to which a mining plan for quarry cuts 13, 15, 17, 19 and 21 through 56 have been added, Final reclamation contours for this entire quarry area were previously included on Exhibit F map. Referenced in the permit application and later correspondence is a probable diversion, in about 30 years, of the minor drainage of Bear Creek. The least controversial rerouting of this drain- age (indicated on revised Exhibit C map attached) would be south- westerly about 1,400 feet to the fault zone, then down the fault zone 6,000 feet where the flow would return to the natural stream bed about 750 feet before its discharge into the Arkansas River.
