_~. ~ • - <br />.- <br />STATE OF COLORADO - DEPARTMizRT OF NATURAL RESOURCES <br />MINED LAND RECLAMATION DIVISION <br />CASTLE CONCRETE COMPANY, SNYDER CANYON QUARRY <br />A Colorado Corporation, <br />Applicant Permit No. M-77-210, AM-03 <br />OBJECTIONS i0 CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN FOR SNYDER QUARRY ACCESS ROAD <br />The Cedar Heights Lenders, through SPARKS, DIX, ENOCH & WINSLOW, <br />P.C., object to the October 1989 Castle Concrete Corrective Action Plan <br />(CAP) for the Snyder Quarry access road on the following grounds: <br />1. Slope Stability of Areas 2 and 3. The September 29, 1989, <br />CTLlThompson geotechnical report prepared for Castle Concrete concludes <br />that "fill at slope ratio steeper than 1.5:1 (horizontal to vertical) are <br />likely to fail under dry conditions Cand that] fill slopes should be <br />flattened to ratios no steeper than 2:1 under dry conditions." <br />CLTLlThompson at 7-8. Notwithstanding this recommendation, the CAI' <br />leaves Area 2 with a 1.3:1 slope and Area 3 with a 1.8:1 slope. Clip at <br />7. Area 3 is disturbed, in part, 6y a small slump or landslide. This <br />slope is not stable and will not 6e stabilized by the CAP. <br />2. Paving Access Road. Castle Concrete has indicated in <br />conversations with the Cedar Heights Lenders that it intends to pave the <br />access road over the next two years and that this paving will facilitate <br />drainage. The drawing of the typical roadway section and detail provided <br />with the CAP shows that Castle Concrete intends to pave the ditch o~n the <br />south side of the road to facilitate drainage into the proposed <br />culverts. Castle Concrete's intention to pave the road during the next <br />two years to facilitate the overall drainage and to repair damage caused <br />to the road by prior seepage should be explicit in the written CAP. <br />3. Reveqetation. Castle Concrete's repeated dumping of rotks and <br />other Gidieriul5 down the slope along the access road has destroyed a <br />substantial number of 6' to 8' trees. In its CAP, Castle Concrete fails <br />to promise to reestablish the trees it destroyed. Specifically, Castle <br />fails in the following regards: <br />1159E/10-17 <br />
