Box 3609 <br />Grand Junction, Colorado 81502 <br />Attention: Mr. Paul McGehee <br />Subject: Geologic Evaluation for a Proposed Gravel Pit <br />located on a part of the SE ;, SW4 and SW ;, SE„ <br />Section 36, Township 48 North, Range 9 West, of the <br />New Mexico Principal Meridian, Montrose, County, <br />Colorado <br />As requested we have observed the site and evaluated the geology <br />for the referenced site, also known as 21830 Highway 550 Montrose, <br />Colorado. The gravel pit is located approximately 8 miles south of <br />Montrose, Colorado and will be called the Colona Gravel Pit. <br />The proposed property is bounded on the west by U.S. Highway 550 <br />and on the east by the flood plain of the Uncompahgre River. To <br />the north is sparsely spaced residence with acreage and to the <br />south a field prior to sparsely spaced residences with acreage. <br />The parcel consists of 37.1± acres of which 28.5 acres is to be <br />mined. The small acreage is irrigated farm ground similar to the <br />adjacent small acreages. The site presently has a pre-manufactured <br />single family residence. The pre-manufactured structure will be <br />used as a temporary office until the gravel removal operation <br />progresses to the point it will need to be removed. <br />The purpose of this report is to identify geologic hazards, <br />particularly hazards that might have adverse effect on adjacent <br />properties and manmade structures. This report is based on drill <br />holes performed on the proposed parcel, on soil mapping by the Soil <br />Conservation Service (SCS) and on various geologic books and maps. <br />
