RE: West Riffle Pit #M-81-006; Technical Revision
j 2-d0/
Dear Mr. Mount;
This letter is to confirm and follow up your meeting with Larey Hazelton of
Central Aggregates, Inc. held on 7anuary 29,1993, regarding a technical
revision for the West Rifle Pit. In accordance to the Mineral Rules and
Regulations, as well as my understanding of the accepted procedures for
this type of application, I am submitting a narrative with supporting
documents and maps for this revision as it pertains to the feasibility of an
exchange of areas to be mined within CAI property.
Exhibit "1" is a map of the present permitted areas, Exhibit "2" is a map of
the proposed technically revised area. CAI desires to exchange Parcel A
and Parcel C for Parcel E as identified on Exhibit "1". Neither Parcel A nor
Parcel C has been disturbed or affected by any type of mining or man
related activity. We wish to accomplish two goals: (1) divest ourselves of
the responsibilities of Parcels A and C which are owned by others; (2) allow
CAI to continue mining in a northwest direction following the best reserves
on our own property.
This revision will not alter the mining, reclamation plans, or bond with the
exception of the northwest mining direction. The number of permitted acres
remains substantially the same or less. The haul road, stockpiling areas,
support areas will remain essentially unchanged. This exchange is likely to
enhance the area by leaving Parcels A and C in their natural state and
ultimately create a lake for possible recreational use on the flat unusable
Parcel E. The final disposition of the post-reclamation area is intended to
be as described in the original reclamation plan.
Parcel E is approximately 14.7 acres, and we propose to exclude the
northern 3 acres to ensure that we do not exceed the total acreage of
Parcels A and C (11.9 acres). Parcel E is within the corporate city limits of
the City of Rifle. ~n August 13, 1992, the City of Rifle issued a conditional
use permit to CAI which required a public notice and hearing to ad,ioining
property owners and other interested citizens. We, therefore, request that
the "normal amendment public notice process" be waived.
