i <br />Ms. Erica Crosby <br />Division of Minerals & Geology <br />June 29, 1999 <br />Page 2 <br />C <br />Structures within 200 ft of mining area: Steamboat Valley Road. The portion of the road that is on the <br />west side of the valley is not owned, maintained or considered as Steamboat Road. However, Arkins Park Stone <br />and the Sprague's commit to keeping that portion of the road that crosses our property to the west in safe and <br />useable condition for the three prop~nty owners (one of them being us) that have the right to use it. Except for the <br />Arkins Pazk comercial use, it will not be used commercially by anyone other than us. We expect to do some work <br />on the road to widen it to the sixty foot easement allowance described it our deed. <br />The west quarry will be active d'tredly adjacent to the road for a while, and we will need to use the road <br />to load trucks, move loaders, and establish a work deck. We will keep the road in safe end passable condition. <br />These roads were established many yeazs ago by the many quarry workers that had to travel on it by oxen and <br />mules and now by pick-ups or trucks. We have the large loaders and machinery to keep these roads in good shape. <br />The quarry activities will in no way affect the roadway in an adverse way but will instead add to the stability and <br />useability of it. If any damage is done to the road by us, Arkins Park or the Sprague's will be financially and <br />personally responsible for the repah~ of same. <br />Geoteehnical stability eshibit. The distance Cann our quarries to the nearest houses ere shown on the <br />main map and have been calculated. according to the scale. They are circled in black and the distance to the <br />nearest blasting azee is written nearby. The blasting information sent to the Division will be altered in the <br />following manner: the size and quantity of the blast at six to twelve holes at a time will remain the same. <br />However, the amount of blasting wi II be changed to read "as needed", and not estimating a minimum or a <br />maximum, but it should be about the same as it has been before. <br />Our working hours and days aze as follows: daylight hours and according to the weather and market <br />need. We normally work an eight to tart hour shift, as needed, five days per week, and 5 hours an Saturday, in the <br />warmer months. We do not work cn Sunday, but, sometimes Neil and I will take a ride [o the quarry so he can <br />evaluate the next week's needs. We do not want restrictive hottrs placed on any of our activities that may violate <br />our personal rights to be on our own property at our leisure. We also want the permit to include our entire property <br />for the same reason. <br />Thank you very much for .your time. <br />Respectfully yours, <br />ARKINS PARK STONE CORPOP:ATION <br />Neil & Judy Sprague <br />r~ <br /> <br />7 <br />'f <br />I <br />sc- <br />q I~~ <br />
