May 15 O1 04:04p • [9~ 870-0290 P•3 <br />Today we completed measurements, mappng, and disturbance calculations for the entire encroachment and <br />alvo a ralcula8on of tho smaller gravel beckfill area. These ere atbched W ths letter antl show apprordmalely <br />.208 acre of dlswrbence inclWing ,088 acre of gravel beckfill on the State Lantl Board property. In reality, <br />rreiher property owner could mine the disturbed area n question now or in the future scree slope S1abYRy along <br />the properly line would require both parries to leave an'unmineable"amount. There has not been a loss of any <br />grazing potential with the fenceline's current location. <br />Ms. Rave's suggested to me thatdamages could passably ba equal to the royalty or market price on the 1000 <br />to 2000 CY of gravel, which could have been removed from the area. Whrle th's solution might be cast' to <br />calculate, it does not agree with me m princ¢rle. Connell Resources has many mining operations in Rou@ <br />County and Cobrado, and d is important to me to look our lessors end regulatory agencies n the eyes and <br />honesfiy say that we have never sold or profited from gravel on which we did trot legalty own. Before this <br />mistake 1 also could have said we have never violated our Mined Land Permits. <br />My intent and plan is to wolf for your direction on inspection by die Division of Geology to verify the adequacy <br />of the gravel badrfitl and than recreate the oHsrte bench Detwean the property line and fencesne to @'s previous <br />cond~on. This will also require and allow for me to beckfill and slope the interior western pit area I would Irke <br />to complete thrs work within two weeks and get spring seed established before the heal of the summer and to <br />aid in s[ortnwater management. <br />Ms. Rave also painted out that our seeded area Trnfi last fall's reclamation had some white top showing. 1 <br />requested Routt County Weed Control to come out and do a spring end fall spraying this year, m follow uP on <br />last fall's spraying at this piL <br />If you have any que&iort5s or corn manta please conies me at our offrx at 870.870-0200 or on my cell phone <br />a1970-846-4727. I apologize to all parties Inwlved for my mistake. <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br />~~~ <br />T yA.
