Army Corps of Engineers <br />720 North Main Street <br />Pueblo, CO 81003 <br />Re: Walsenburg Sand & Gravel, Inc. <br />Sand Arroyo Pit, MLRB Permit No. 78-273 <br />Dear Diana, <br />I hope this will brim you up to date on this project we discussed on March 12, 2002. The <br />attached map shows that a portion of the pern~it area involves a portion of the SE I/4 SE 1/4 Section <br />21, Syy'1/4 S`r~'1/4 Section 22, NWl/4 NW1/4 Section 27, and the NE1/4 NE1/4 Section 28 all in <br />Tovenship 28 South, Range 67 West, 6`h P. M. <br />According to old country records the access road is a count}' road; not a private road. The <br />roads in the pit are temporary depending on where mining is taking place and the last activity of <br />runoff in Sand Arroyo. They move to where the mining is taking place and gradually move to the <br />west with the mining activity. They can be obliterated by runoff from Sand Arroyo and then will be <br />moved to a new location. The arroyo channel makes for adequate haul road. <br />Mining is done with afront-end loader which loads into haul tracks to transport the sands <br />to a processing plant outside the arroyo as well as the permit affected area. Mining is generally 3 to <br />5 feet deep depending on the amount of sand available. It stops at least 2 feet above the groundwater <br />so none is exposed. Naturally no mining will take place any time water is flowing in the arroyo. <br />This will be strictly a dry pit operation with no wetlands or exposed water on site. <br />"Yo~!r Brand of People" <br />
