• ~iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iii • <br />Loukonen Brothers Stone <br />Beech Hill Quarry <br />M-81-277 <br />Consideration of a possible notice of violation, cease & desist order, corrective actions and civil <br />penalties for mining without a permit, pursuant to the requirements of C.R.S. 34-32.5-109, or <br />failure to protect areas outside the affected land from damage occurring during the mining <br />operation, pursuant [o the requirement of C.R.S. 34-32.51 16(4)(i). <br />• Beech Hill Quarry is located one mile north of Lyons in Boulder County. 1 10 permit was <br />issued to Loukonen Brothers Stone in 1981. In 1994 the Division approved a permit <br />amendment increasing the permit area to 9.9 acres. <br />An inspection was conducted by the Division on November 11, 1998. Eight (8) quarries make <br />up the 9.9-acre permit area. Permit boundaries could not be located at each separate quarry. <br />Operator was required to post permit boundary markers as required by Rule 3.1.12. <br />DMG conducted afollow-up inspection on March I, 1999. Markers were posted for the <br />proposed location of the l 12-conversion application (not yet submitted to DMG). The <br />Division surveyed the site using the Trimble GeoExplorer II Global Positioning System <br />(GPS). The affected boundary of each quarry was traversed and the data was stored in the <br />GPS. The data was downloaded into the Pathfinder Office software and was differentially <br />corrected to reduce errors. The collected data indicate that the Beach Hill Quarries are <br />collectively 13.7 acres in size, roughly 3.8 acres over the permitted area (see attached map). <br />Markers noted on [he map were the proposed quarry expansion area. The GeoExplorer 11 has <br />a 2-5 meter level of accuracy. <br />• fides <br />• Recommendation & Corrective Actions: (refer to presentation form) <br />
