<br />Geotechnical Consultants, Inc. <br /> <br />August 7, 1989 <br />Mansfield Development <br />2617 South Wadsworth Circle <br />Denver, CO 80227 <br />Attn: Ms. Joyce Neville <br />Subject: Review of Snyder Quarry Amendment Application <br />Dear Ms. Neville: <br />At your request the following presents a review and disc~ission of <br />the Snyder Quarry Amendment Application submitted !~y Castle <br />Concrete. This review was conducted to assess the impact of the <br />Snyder Quarry Amendment on the Cave of the Winds faclity and <br />properties rear the Snyder Quarry, The main emphasie; of this <br />review was on rock£all and blasting potentials, but other factors <br />were also considered. <br />The information reviewed is included in the attached Table 1, <br />List of References. Conversations were also held with John <br />Covert, who is representing the Palmer Foundation and Hal <br />Prostka, President of the Ute Pass Preservation Society. A brief <br />field reconnaissance was conducted on the Cave of the Winds pro- <br />perty to the west of the Snyder Quarry, Review of additional <br />information, as it becomes available, is currently in prcgress. <br />Data contained in the materials reviewed indicates that the Cave <br />of the Winds property borders the Snyder Quarry on three sides, <br />north, south, and west. A portion of the west boundary of the <br />Snyder Quarry is also apparently bordered by land that is owned <br />by Castle Concrete, however. The Cave o£ the winds entrance and <br />facility are located approximately 2500 feet southerly of the <br />amendment area of the Snyder quarry. the Cave of the winds is <br />located about 1000 feet southwest of the southwest corner of the <br />Snyder Quarry permit boundary. The Cave of the Winds facility is <br />also located on the other side (west side) of Williams Canyon. <br />These relationships are shown on the attached Figure 1. <br />The Snyder Quarry amendment area will impact the Cav~> of the <br />Winds facility and/or property in several ways. The most impact <br />will come from the visual impact of the quarrying operations and <br />from surface drainage conditions. Other conditions will also <br />have impacts on the Cave of the Winds property. <br />Visual Impact: <br />The application of the Snyder Quarry amendment area (Reference 1) <br />presents a rather lengthy discussion of the effects of the visual <br />impacts on various points within the City of Golorado Springs, <br />7~5o N.
