Sand and Gravel Permit. After a long and involved <br />wetlands study for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers two <br />areas of wetlands have been found in the permitted acreage. <br />These two areas are delineated on the enclosed Mine Plan <br />Map and the Reclamation Plan Map. Upper Animas has agreed <br />not to disturb these two areas during its mining and <br />reclamation operations. Because of these wetland designations <br />Upper Animas would like to extend the settling pond across <br />the southern end of the permitted area. This will allow <br />for better water supplementation to the southeastern wetland <br />area. The mining and reclamation plans will remain the <br />same but will make every effort to protect and maintain the <br />existing wetlands. <br />The two high water channels delineated on the mine plan <br />map will only be mined during the operations. <br />If you have any guestions please feel free to contact me. <br />S~ e ely. ~~ <br />Charles R. Ponchak for <br />Upper Animas Sand and Gravel <br />
